A few months ago I helped to put together a Best Practice Submission to submit to THA to be considered for their Member Showcase. From the submissions they receive, THA chooses several to feature during their THA Annual Conference and Expo in January. We will be able to present our Best Practice to attendees and share with them.
Our submission detailed how our upcoming Community Paramedics Program will allow us to continue to care for patients as they return to their homes and what our expected outcomes from doing so are.
I found out yesterday that our submission was selected to appear during the Member Showcase! The Community Paramedics Project is likely going to be my final project for my Residency and I’ve been spending more and more time learning about its development and have begun thinking of ideas of how I can help with calculating metrics to measure its success.
After spending a lot of time helping out with awards nominations for the program and sitting in on meetings helping to get the program started, I have become very excited about the program and about the impact it can have for community members. Needless to say I am thrilled that we were chosen! It will be a wonderful opportunity for the program’s representatives to share the thought process behind the program’s development and our initial outcomes.
The next step is for us to complete a separate submission to be included in the conference. I will be helping out with its development and am very excited to see it evolve! (And to see the program commence!)
