For over 20 years, UniCare has been committed to developing innovations to better serve members, no matter where they are in the state. UniCare partnered with the Kanawha County Emergency Ambulance Authority to develop the field-based Community Paramedicine program, which combines telephonic case management with in-home outreach. Our partnership successfully engaged 84% of identified members, leading directly to improved health outcomes by connecting members with ongoing primary care, social support, and care coordination.
Well done, Darren! I have always felt community paramedicine was a useful and natural healthcare pathway for certain post-hospital care. Keep leading and blazing the paramedicine trail! #LeadOn
