Description

Access to healthcare in rural areas is a persistent problem in southern Illinois. One strategy being used in roughly 30 rural areas in the United States to bridge health care service gaps and save hospitals money on patient readmission penalties is the development of Mobile Integrated Healthcare and Community Paramedicine (MIH-CP) programs. A new pilot MIH-CP program is currently in development in the southern Illinois region; however, the additional duties of community paramedics may not appeal to all current paramedics in this area. The purpose of this cross-sectional survey of a convenience sample of 72 EMS professionals currently working in rural Illinois ambulance services was to assess the attitudes of traditional paramedics toward the roles of community paramedics and their perceived self-efficacy of performing the duties of community paramedics. Overall, the results of this study suggest that there is general support for MIH-CP programs across all demographics of this sample. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze demographic data from the surveys and logistic regressions were performed to identify statistically significant associations between characteristics of the participants and attitudes toward MIH-CP programs. According to the results of the data analysis, working in a rural area (p = 0.02), being more familiar with MIH-CP programs (p = 0.04), and having a strong interest in improving community health (p = 0.002) were the three attributes of EMS professionals that had statistically significant associations with a positive attitude toward MIH-CP programs or wanting more MIH-CP programs in Illinois. More than 90% of the sample felt moderately or highly certain of their ability to perform duties common to MIH-CP programs. These results may help inform the recruitment strategy for the EMS professionals who will work on the pilot program as well as the development of the soft-skills curriculum.
