Where to Begin? A Fire Department’s Approach to Launching an MIH Program
Room 121
This presentation outlines the development and implementation of the Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) program in Chesapeake, Virginia, led by a single program manager with no previous experience in MIH-CP programs. The program aimed to fill gaps in healthcare access and decrease non-emergency 911 calls through paramedicine and community services. A community needs assessment, including call volume analysis and emergency department data, guided the program’s strategy, particularly in light of an expected increase in the elderly population. Unlike traditional community paramedicine, Chesapeake’s approach focused on patient navigation, integrating healthcare and social services, and providing education for chronic disease management. Core services included fall prevention, chronic illness support, and patient education. The program’s success relied on thorough planning, data collection for evaluation and funding, stakeholder engagement, and effective marketing. Pilot results demonstrated significant reductions in 911 calls among enrolled clients, and strategic partnerships with local organizations improved service delivery and community impact.

Room 120
Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) quality scores influence payer performance, reimbursement, and public reporting, making them a key driver in today’s value-based care landscape. By aligning MIH services with their goals, agencies can build sustainable partnerships while helping elevate quality outcomes across the healthcare system.
Learn how MIH can create measurable improvements that align with HEDIS gaps, FQHC needs, and payer priorities to demonstrate value across healthcare.

Leveraging FQHCs & NPs in MIH: Keeping Patients Home and Healthy with Fire-Based Partnerships
Wabash 3
This presentation highlights how fire-based Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) programs can transform chronic disease management and support aging in place by integrating with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). Leveraging multidisciplinary teams and innovative partnerships, the Olathe Fire Department MIH program demonstrates how aligning emergency medical services with primary care and community resources reduces 911 utilization, prevents unnecessary hospital admissions, and improves continuity of care. Case examples will illustrate how MIH providers address chronic care needs, support geriatric populations, and build collaborative treatment plans that account for both medical conditions and social determinants of health. By focusing on the whole patient, including their healthcare access, home environment, and long-term goals, fire-based MIH programs become a vital component of community health and safety.

Ethical and Legal Considerations for Community Paramedics: Navigating Boundaries, Privacy, and Refusals
Room 120
Community paramedicine brings healthcare into non-traditional settings, often blurring the lines between clinical care, patient advocacy, and social support. These unique dynamics make ethical and legal considerations critical for protecting patients, providers, and agencies. This presentation will explore the intersection of professional boundaries, patient rights, and privacy in community paramedicine. Attendees will gain practical strategies for navigating HIPAA compliance, interpreting legal documents like durable power of attorney and living wills, and mitigating legal risk related to misconduct or data breaches. Real-world scenarios and case studies will highlight common challenges and demonstrate how to apply ethical frameworks to guide decision-making.
