    Abstract Introduction: Long-term care (LTC) patients do poorly when transported to emergency departments (ED). Community paramedic programs deliver enhanced care in their place of residence, yet few programs are reported in the literature. We conducted a national cross-sectional survey of land ambulance services to understand if such programs exist in Canada, and what the perceived needs and priorities are for future programs.
    Methods: We emailed a 46 question survey to paramedic services across Canada. We asked about service characteristics, current ED diversion programs, existing diversion programs specific to LTC patients, priorities for future programs, the potential impact of such programs, and what the feasibility and barriers are to implementing programs that treat LTC patients on-site, avoiding an ED visit.
    Results: We received responses from 50 sites across Canada, providing services to 73.5% of the total population. Almost a third (30.0%) had existing treat-and-refer programs, and 65.5% of services transported to destinations other than an ED. Almost all respondents (98.0%) felt the need for programs to treat LTC patients on-site, and 36.0% had existing programs. The top priorities for future programs were support for patients being discharged (30.6%), extended care paramedics (24.5%), and respiratory illness treat-in-place programs (20.4%). The highest potential impact was expected from support for patients being discharged (62.0%) and respiratory illness treat-in-place programs (54.0%). Required changes in legislation (36.0%) and required changes to the system of medical oversight (34.0%) were identified as top barriers to implementing such programs.
    Conclusion: There is a significant mismatch between the perceived need for community paramedic programs treating LTC patients on-site, and the number of programs in place. Programs could benefit from standardized outcome measurement and the publication of peer-reviewed evidence to guide future programs. Changes in legislation and medical oversight are needed to address the identified barriers to program implementation.

    Abstract Introduction: Adults living in long-term care (LTC) are at increased risk of harm when transferred to the emergency department (ED), and programs targeting treatment on-site are increasing. We examined characteristics, clinical course, and disposition of LTC patients transported to the ED to examine the potential impact of alternative models of paramedic care for LTC patients.
    Methods: We conducted a health records review of paramedic and ED records between April 1, 2016, and March 31, 2017. We included emergency calls originating from LTC centers and patients transported to either ED campus of The Ottawa Hospital. We excluded scheduled or deferrable transfers, and patients with Canadian Triage and Acuity Scale of 1. We categorized patients into groups based on care they received in the ED. We calculated standardized differences to examine differences between groups.
    Results: We identified four groups: (1) patients requiring no treatment or diagnostics in the ED (7.9%); (2) patients receiving ED treatment within current paramedic directives and no diagnostics (3.2%); (3) patients requiring diagnostics or ED care outside current paramedic directives (54.9%); and (4) patients requiring admission (34.1%).
    Conclusion: This study found 7.9% of LTC patients transported to the ED did not receive diagnostics, medications, or treatment, and overall 11.1% of patients could have been treated by paramedics within current medical directives using 'treat-and-refer' pathways. This group could potentially expand utilizing community paramedics with expanded scopes of practice.
