Abstract
Due to the changing financial landscape, healthcare organizations are reconsidering their strategy relating to revenue, volume, clinical operations, human resources and policies. The prospect of shifting from inpatient to outpatient care aims to reduce healthcare costs associated with expensive inpatient admissions while continuing to maintain safe, efficient and effective care. Accommodating the growth of outpatient volumes requires developing new resources and a financial strategy to create an outpatient network to promote health far into the community. Innovative partnerships with ADNs, Community Paramedics, Community Paramedicine professional organizations, hospital networks, and health administration programs will transform the paramedicine profession and Community Paramedic careers, expand roles in today's health system and better align practitioners to improve and maintain community health.
