Mobile Care Access Delivers
Community Paramedicine
For decades, EMS organizations have understood the benefits of community paramedicine, but lacked the resources to develop and implement financially sustainable programs.
The Mobile Care Access program is the next step in the evolution of community paramedicine, connecting patients and paramedics with the power and flexibility of a mobile platform. This program, funded by health insurance plans, solves the problems that have previously prevented this highly effective treatment modality from being used to its full potential. Now nearly any EMS agency can have the community paramedicine program it’s always wanted.

Data demonstrates that Medicaid patients in care management programs for chronic diseases experience a high rate of improvement when receiving on site interventions from local paramedics. Effective program implementation can reduce non-emergency EMS and ER utilization by up to 60%.
Mobile Care Access is a structured program that provides a planned course of care and coaching, which then transitions to monthly monitoring.
Program Enrollment
MedAware Solutions conducts outreach campaigns to Medicaid patients who fit criteria designated by their health insurance plan. The free program is introduced, and willing members are enrolled. Upon enrollment, the member is assigned to a local EMS Partner.
Program Execution
A community paramedic will connect with the newly enrolled member to assess their medical status in their home and develop a care plan. Care may be delivered in person, by phone or through telehealth with our proprietary mobile application mViva©.
Program Length
The duration of a care plan is typically 60-90 days. Upon successful completion of the plan, the member is promoted to monthly monitoring to ensure long term success.

The Mobile Care Access program does not require paramedics to have a full CP-C designation. However, we do require that affiliated paramedics have received training in community paramedicine.
