Community Paramedicine Frailty Pathway

Community paramedics are uniquely positioned to support coordinated care through early frailty identification, risk stratification, targeted interventions, and proactive service connections. The decision-tree outlines an innovative Community Paramedicine Frailty Pathway that uses a standardized, stepwise approach to integrate frailty into chronic disease management and ongoing patient monitoring. By facilitating timely referrals to Specialized Geriatric Services, rehabilitation programs, community supports, and other healthcare resources, the pathway promotes proactive frailty management. This approach can improve patient outcomes, reduce avoidable emergency department utilization, and help delay or prevent permanent institutionalization, supporting older adults to remain safely and independently in their communities for longer.
