Community Paramedicine Remote Patient Monitoring
Empowering Health Through Innovation
Established in 2011, our organization was founded by the South Central Community Development Corporation (SCCDC) with the primary purpose of providing home monitoring services to patients with chronic conditions across Canada. In 2012, the SCCDC initiated a pilot project to collaborate with municipalities to explore how technology could help seniors live safely in their homes for as long as possible. The result of the pilot project led to the creation of a social enterprise known as Future Health Services (FHS), which received funding from Canada Health Infoway to develop a cost-effective, sustainable, and scalable business model aimed at reducing unnecessary healthcare resource utilization among frequently visiting patients. FHS called the program the Community Paramedic Remote Patient Monitoring program (CPRPM) and selected Queens University to evaluate the program
CPRPM’s Measurable Success
Queens University conducted an independent review of the program and found that for the patients in the study:
- A 31% reduction in the number of EMS 911 calls, with more complex patients experiencing even greater decrease of 47%.
- The number of visits to Hospital Emergency Departments decreased by 31%.
- The number of Hospital Admissions dropped by 40%.
- There was a 41% reduction in 30-day Hospital Re-Admissions.
- The average Length of Stay in hospitals was reduced by 22%.
- Resulting in a 510% Return on Investment to the Health Care system.
