So Carmen and Katie developed an EMS Community Partnership program. They created a seamless link between this Community Partnership program and 911 calls for falls. Eric and I enjoyed talking with Carmen and Katie about this innovative and common sense approach to addressing falls in the community. What can we do as a community?

But then once it was open, started seeing a lot of other populations: not just our own hospital population, but a lot more just community members calling with concerns about driving. So we’re trying to help replace the transportation option. We and many others have tried to come up with a short, validated screening tool.

Tim 40:33 Yeah, I was going to say, I think, you know, we talked about kind of external to the health system, but within health systems, I think certainly things like social determinants of health screening that gets at a lot of these issues of loneliness, transportation.

So we take that science and we apply it to something that’s very messy and chaotic, like a human being or a community or a population. I think it started off from a need, a hunger in the community. There’s obviously a lot of flaws in the healthcare system. A love letter kind of back to my community.

And it’s like Kathleen noted, most of the time you would have to send someone out of the building, you’d have to, to get transportation arranged, and you would have to take them to an outpatient visit, which is very, very difficult, particularly for people with dementia. Eric 30:01 That’s beautiful. right there.

So I thought… And I was doing this for the United States Preventive Services Task Force because we were looking at the evidence to what’s the benefit and harm of screening, and I had to look all over. Whereas with comprehensive dementia care, what you really need is a lot of the support that is delivered in the community.
