Ambulances deliver Emergency Physician consults on call-outs

Ambulance services, Emergency Consult, and hospital EDs working together to deliver virtual consults roadside.

Emergency services can now provide doctor consults on the scene. Our senior emergency specialist doctors (FACEMs) can support paramedics or first responders with virtual consults at the time and place of the call-out.

Often, this model is used to provide care for lower acuity (status 3 and 4) patients. It enables the patient to be seen and treated on the spot without unnecessarily transporting them to the hospital emergency department (ED). Thus providing faster and more convenient care to the patient as well as reducing the incoming flow of transported patients to the ED.

Working together to deliver best care possible

Broad scope and clinical quality

Ambulance personnel are supported by Emergency Medicine Specialists in their decision making and treatment on-the-spot. That means at-scene care can now include clinical guidance, scripts, referrals, and treatment plans.

Reducing hospital transfers and burden on EDs

Lower acuity cases can be addressed on-the-spot, anytime of day or night. That way more patients stay in the comfort of their own home while the immense pressure on our hospital EDs is reduced and ramping is avoided.
