YOUR SASKATOON MLA'S WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR
NEW EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES TREATMENT AND REFERRAL PILOT PROJECT LAUNCHED IN SASKATOON
An Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Treatment and Referral pilot project in Saskatoon was launched this week that expands the scope of practice for paramedics responding to 911 calls to ensure patients are receiving adequate and timely care while easing pressures on emergency rooms.
As part of the pilot, paramedics will have the ability to consult a Virtual Triage Physician for guidance and support. Only adult patients will be included in the pilot at this time. Six protocols will be included as part of the pilot, including: hypoglycemia, heat illness, mild to moderate allergic reactions with dissipating symptoms, falls, minor lacerations or abrasions without active bleeding as well as influenza-like illness.
“We are looking forward to the positive impact this new process will have on patient care,” SHA Executive Director of Provincial Services-Community Care Rod MacKenzie said. More: https://www.saskhealthauthority.ca/.../saskatchewan...
