Prehospital emergency care · 2025-08-01 · Guideline / consensus
Abstract
Emergency medical services (EMS) are integral to public health and safety and provide health care to both individuals and communities. Community paramedicine (CP) and mobile integrated health care (MIH) programs are expanded models of EMS that provide needs-based, patient-centered care in the community. Successful implementation requires a community health needs assessment, engaged EMS medical directors, multidisciplinary collaboration, and sustainable reimbursement that recognizes prehospital care delivery beyond traditional payment for transport.
