9 NUMBER OF PATIENTS TIME FOR OFFLOAD (MM:SS) New Programs Dufferin County Paramedic Service recently introduced two new programs solely funded through alternative sources. The Offload Nursing Program was introduced in November 2014 to help alleviate ambulance delays within the hospital. Also, in November 2014, Dufferin County Paramedic Service received funding to train, develop and implement a Community Paramedic Program for the residents of Dufferin County. Offload Nursing Ambulance offload delay refers to the transfer of patient care from the Paramedic crew to the staff of the emergency department. These delays can have significant impact of the timely delivery of services by the Paramedic Service. Dufferin County Paramedic Service was able to secure funding to provide one nurse 12 hours a day. This nurse is dedicated to accepting patients from Paramedic Crews when the Emergency Department is running at capacity and there is no available resources to allow the crew to transfer care to the accepting hospital. Prior to the implementation of the Offload Nursing Program, the 90 th percentile for Ambulance Offload at Headwaters Health Care Center was 62 minutes and the range of offload was between patients per month. Within the first month of the program, the total patients in Offload decreased to 11 despite the highest volume of patients being transported and the 90 th percentile for decreased to 20 minutes. As the program is still in the early stages, the results are preliminary but have demonstrated that the program will be extremely successful. The graph below shows the total patients transported, total patients in Offload delay > 30 minutes and the 90 th percentile for Offload by Dufferin County Paramedic Service to Headwaters Health Care Center in Offload Report 1:55: :45:00 0:39:21 1:42:00 1:37: :04: :39: :52: :09: :23: :03: :40:48 1:26:24 1:12:00 0:57:36 0:49:00 0:43:12 0:28:48 0:20:00 0:14: :00:00 Total Patients Transported Total Patients in offload delay (>30min) Offload Time 90th Percentile MONTH 8 P a g e
10 Community Paramedic Program Community Paramedicine is recognized internationally as a best practice to help manage increased demands for paramedic services. The Community Paramedic project has the potential to reduce emergency calls, emergency department visits and hospitalizations, demand for long-term care beds and will ultimately increase patient satisfaction. Ensuring seniors and other high-risk patients can access the right care, at the right time, in the right place, supports Ontario s Action Plan for Health Care. Partnering with the Dufferin Area Family Health Team, Headwaters Health Care Centre, Central West LHIN, and community care partners, Dufferin Community Paramedics will assist high risk clients living with complex medical issues such as diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive heart failure and co-morbidities. Such patients are often frequent Paramedic Service and Emergency Department users, and this new project will allow paramedics to provide in-home visits to do check-ins, assessments, perform blood and urine tests and administer medications in consultation with the patient's physician. Two Advanced Care Paramedics completed training through Centennial College for Community Paramedicine which included didactic, practical and clinical components. 9 P a g e
11 STEMI Bypass/ Code STEMI The STEMI Bypass program was introduced to Dufferin County in 2008 and involves the transport of patients who are experiencing ST segment elevation Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack). When the paramedics respond to a patient presenting with symptoms of a MI, they will perform an ECG. Upon identification of a STEMI on the ECG, the paramedics will initiate transport to Southlake Regional Hospital. Many studies have been completed on best care for patients presenting with STEMI and current guidelines dictate that the patient be transported immediately to a Cardiac Center capable of performing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (Primary PCI). The goal is for the patient to have this procedure within 90 minutes of initial patient contact (time that first health care provider make first contact with patient.) Over the past seven (7) years, Dufferin County Paramedic Service has been able to identify many patients and successfully transport them to Southlake Regional Hospital for this life saving procedure. In 2014, eleven (11) patients were transported from their home to Southlake Regional Hospital. Code STEMI is a new program that involves the coordinated efforts of Headwaters Health Care Center, Southlake Regional Hospital and Dufferin County Paramedic Service. In June of this past year, HHCC introduced a new program that involved the immediate transport of patients who presented to the Emergency Department with a STEMI. Once identification of a STEMI has taken place, the ED will contact ambulance dispatch and request a paramedic crew respond to the hospital for a patient to be transported to Southlake Regional Hospital. The goals of this program are to have the patient transported to a Cardiac Center within 30 minutes, door-in/door-out (time from first patient contact in ED to time patient leaves hospital with paramedics.) Again, the goal is for the patient to have this procedure completed within 90 minutes of initial patient contact. In just over six (6) months, Dufferin County Paramedic Service transported fourteen (14) patients from Headwaters Health Care Center to Southlake Regional Hospital for this life saving procedure. 10 P a g e
12 Budget The approved budget for 2014 was $5,960, A more detailed report on the budget for 2014 will be available in the annual financial audited report. 11 P a g e
