Mobile integrated healthcare-community paramedicine (MIH-CP) is a new model of care
that allows for a broader range of services in the community than more traditional emergency responses that often involve transporting patients to emergency departments. There is growing but limited evidence that suggests MIH-CP has potential to improve outcomes for patients needing long-term care (LTC).
This report describes a case study that conducted interviews with MIH-CP programs in four different states to identify the range of services these programs provided to LTC patients and examine what program factors were associated with positive outcomes for these patients.
