Mobile Integrated Health Program ( Community Paramedic Program)
Mobility limitations. Medications. Scheduling follow-up care. There are a lot of details to remember when you leave the hospital. But all most patients want to do is relax and recover in the comfort of their own homes.
That’s why Reedsburg Area Medical Center (RAMC) and the Reedsburg Area Ambulance Service are pleased to offer a Mobile Integrated Health program to help bridge the gap between hospital discharge and recovering at home, allowing patients to focus on healing.
Through the Mobile Integrated Health program, patients and their families receive the following support from paramedics:
In 2015, through a partnership with Reedsburg Area Medical Center and Home Health United, the Mobile Integrated Health program was started. Through this program, paramedics conduct a home visit of patients who are released from Reedsburg Area Medical Center. The paramedics also follow up with the patient four times over the next month discussing their progress and transition from being in the hospital to being at home. The overall goal of the program is to reduce hospital readmissions.
