A new policy directive from the Department of Health and Wellness will give paramedics more ways to help Islanders access safe, high-quality care in their communities. Effective May 7, Island EMS will introduce new protocols to determine whether people should receive care in the community or at the emergency department. Previously, paramedics were required to take all patients to the ED, including those who may be better served elsewhere.As part of this initiative to build capacity and relieve system pressure, the Department of Health and Wellness and Island EMS are introducing Community Paramedic Response Units that will provide comprehensive care in the community.
