Accomplishments

This program is a design to fit software to meet the needs of the service using it. My role is to review and report any bugs or errors, assist in maintaining software presets and items list, assist in managing the input of personnel and the rules for each of the user profile types.
- Community Paramedicine (on hold). The role of the Community Paramedic is to, in a non-emergent status, visit with the community to provide for their needs. This can include assisting in finding the resources needed by the individual ( from primary care, education, post hospital follow-ups and any other service not readily available to the community), getting the patient in with local public health agencies/ health care providers, and any other service they may need. These services provided by the community paramedic program( in conjunction with the local hospital and mental health systems) are to help reduce the need to rely on the 911 system for non-emergent healthcare.
