Monadnock Community Hospital’s Mobile Integrated Health program is a community benefit providing patient-centered care in the home focused on primary care.
It is the only community paramedicine program in the Monadnock region and was the busiest in the state in 2022 at 49% of all cases in New Hampshire among twelve programs.
MIH’s community paramedics Joshua Patrick and Thomas Dardas have been recognized by the International Board of Specialty Certification (IBSC) as the third program in the world, and the first program east of the Mississippi, to achieve 100% board certification.
Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) is a novel approach to filling some of the gaps in the healthcare system. It utilizes emergency medical service providers in non-traditional roles to help improve population health, reduce costs per capita, and improve the experience of care.
The MIH program at MCH is patient-centered and focused around primary care. Our highly educated and board certified community paramedics (CPs) work directly with the patient’s primary care provider (PCP) to increase access to primary care and mitigate transportation and technology challenges.
The MIH program is an innovative and comprehensive program that provides many services to our patients.
MIH works with PCPs to help patients successfully transition from a hospital admission or skilled nursing facility back into the community to prevent readmissions.
Our skilled Community Paramedics can provide support for patients who have a high number of avoidable emergency department visits by connecting them with resources.
The MIH program also supports many aspects of primary care by being their eyes, ears, and hands within the patient’s home.
Being a hospital-based program has substantial benefits. Our Community Paramedics (CPs) are able to document directly in your health record.
This allows real time collaboration between your PCP and the Community Paramedic.
The CPs are also able to bring your current medication list, allergies, and past medical history up to date for your PCP.
“Last year, we saw more patients than any other mobile Integrated Health program in the state of New Hampshire. Our program brings primary care directly to patients’ homes, making healthcare accessible and personalized.” Joshua Patrick, Community Paramedic
