    Community Paramedicine

    Dan Swayze, Vice President for Community Services at the UPMC Health Plan,  Christopher Matek, Chief of TriCommunity South EMS, and Owen Traynor discuss community paramedicine.  “Emergency medical services (EMS) of the future will be community-based health management that is fully integrated with the overall health care system. It will have the ability to identify and modify illness and injury risks, provide acute illness and injury care and follow-up, and contribute to treatment of chronic conditions and community health monitoring. This new entity will be developed from redistribution of existing health care resources and will be integrated with other health care providers and public health and public safety agencies. It will improve community health and result in more appropriate use of acute health care resources. EMS will remain the public’s emergency medical safety net.” —EMS Agenda For The Future, NHTSA 1996

  8. Opioid Use Disorder and EMS

    23/11/2021

    Opioid Use Disorder and EMS

    This is a podcast for EMS clinicians about Opioid Use Disorder. In the past few years, we've learned that opioid use disorder and opiate overdoses have become the number one cause of death in people under 50. Naloxone has been used in prehospital medicine for approximately 40 years. Although its use has saved many lives from an acute overdose, its administration alone is insufficient to help those with opioid use disorder move from use to recovery.   Dr. Julia D'Alo, MD, Joette Carroll, a recovery specialist, and Owen Traynor, MD, discuss how to be more helpful to those with an opioid use disorder.
