Many EMS system stakeholder (internal and external) have asked about a compendium of peer reviewed studies and reports on the new EMS model of Mobile Integrated Healthcare and Community Paramedicine.

AIMHI is beginning to compile as much of this information as possible for use by EMS agencies, as well as our key stakeholders.

If you would like to have your report or study listed here, or would like to have a study you find added to the compendium, email MZavadsky@medstar911.org.
