As a leader in EMS, MD Ambulance is proud to serve the citizens of Saskatchewan.
Through cooperation with other essential services, our standards for patient care, training and professionalism are the means in which we put the patient first.
Mobile Health Assessments
The Health Bus is designed to take health care to the people and is staffed with Nurse Practitioners and Paramedics. People can drop-in, with no appointments necessary. Some of the more common services provided are:
- Diagnose and treat common illness and injuries
- Education and Counselling
- Chronic Disease Monitoring
- STI & Pregnancy Testing
- Wound Care & Management
As well, we can help assist with connections to social services, addictions counselling, mental health services & several other community services.
Ongoing Care
Community paramedicine is a new and evolving model of community-based health care in which paramedics function outside their customary emergency response and transport roles. In this way they facilitate more appropriate use of health care resources and enhance access to primary care for medically underserved populations.
This joint project with the Saskatoon Health Region hopes to help solve common delivery system problems such as:
- Overuse of the 911 system for social or psychological problems
- Alternative solution for patients who do not require transport to an emergency department
- Hospital re-admissions due to gaps in care between hospital and outpatient care
- Limited or no capacity for short-notice home visits, especially during off hours
- Supplementing primary care shortages in underserved areas
