REMSA’s Community EMS clinicians include EMTs, AEMTs, and Paramedics who have completed a Division of Public and Behavioral Health approved Community EMS training program. Community EMS providers have an expanded role in the community and work to close gaps in care among target populations. Common services provided by these providers include improving healthcare access, establishment with primary care, navigation of community resources, and resolution of medical/social needs. REMSA Health was pivotal in evaluating the effects of using Community EMS clinicians in Nevada when they received a $9.1M Innovation Grant from CMS in 2012 to study the effects of utilizing Community Paramedics in the home.
