PAR 3130 - Mobile Integrated Healthcare

Credits: (2)
Typically Taught Spring Semester: 1st Blk, Online
Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) is the provision of healthcare using patient-centered, mobile resources in the out-of-hospital environment. This course is intended to provide the Emergency Healthcare Services student the tools needed to perform an organizational readiness assessment leading to the development of a community MIH program. The history of MIH, potential stakeholders, types of MIH programs along with data collection, QA/QI, and reimbursement will be explored. As the course capstone, each student will submit a MIH implementation plan that could be utilized in their current EMS response area. (This course does not have a clinical component nor leads to any potential state licensure.)
Pre-requisite(s): Allied Health or Nursing background suggested or departmental approval.
