(Ripley County, Ind.) – Ripley County residents may now take advantage of a new Mobile Integrated Health program.
Ripley County EMS recently launched the program in cooperation with the Ripley County Health Department.
MIH is a patient-centered model of care delivered in a patient’s home or in a mobile environment.
Community paramedics can visit patients at their home and assist with health screenings, vaccinations, treatments and follow-ups. The program can also include social work, substance abuse resources, mental health, chronic disease management and more.
These types of programs are aimed at decreasing admissions to the hospital, decreasing costs of treatment to patients, better integration of EMS into the health care system, and increased savings to commercial insurance companies.
MIH may also reduce non-emergency 911 calls that would otherwise tie up emergency services.
For more information, or to possibly make a referral to the program, contact us by email at MIH@ripleycounty.in.gov.
