COMMUNITY PARAMEDICINE MADE EASYCommunity Paramedicine (CP) programs are popping up across the US.  Why?  Because they work.  In study after study, proactive visits to three key types of patients (chronic care, recently discharged, and 911 “frequent flyers”) have proven to:

Improve patient compliance and outcomes due to personal visits and assistance/reminders from EMS and clinical staff

Improve patient satisfaction due to the personal attention and convenience of an in-home visit

Reduce 30 day hospital readmissions

Reduce stress on the emergency response system by eliminating a significant percentage of non-emergency calls

What makes a CP program work?  Stable, reliable, high-quality communication from field workers visiting patient homes back to case managers or providers, in a medical “hub” site.  swyMed’s patented software enables CP programs to communicate reliably in challenging network environments, and ease of installation on laptops, tablets, and smartphones.  swyMed delivers the highest quality audio/video interaction among peer applications, with security features that exceed the standards for HIPAA compliance.  swyMed allows EMS crews to connect with the simplicity of a click-to-call interface, saving valuable time when connecting patients to hospitals.For regions where internet connectivity is a challenge, swyMed’s software can be supplemented by a DOT Telemedicine Backpack, a smart mobile hotspot that delivers broadband internet in austere environments.  The DOT gives community paramedicine and Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) programs the reliable, high quality network they need to provide healthcare services any time, any where.  With swyMed, even in homes with no WiFi and poor cellular connectivity, a patient can be treated via a high-quality video telemedicine visit.
