A qualitative RE-AIM evaluation of an embedded community paramedicine program in an Ontario Family Health Team
Abstract
Background
In 2014, a rural Family Health Team (FHT) in Ontario, Canada embedded a community paramedicine program into their primary care practice to improve care for their complex patients. Community paramedics are health care professionals who extend their role beyond emergency services to provide primary care in home and community settings. The study aims to evaluate the utility of having community paramedics embedded in a rural FHT.
