Abstract
Background
Over the past two decades, the demands placed on modern paramedic systems has changed. Paramedic services can no longer continue to operate on a traditional response model where more ambulances are deployed to meet the rising demand of patients calling for their health needs. Recent research has explored system design in paramedicine and its relationship with organizational performance. Two subsequent paramedic systems have been identified with one, the Professionally Autonomous paramedic system, being linked to higher performance. Yet, how to operationalize this model for system modernization continues to be a gap in practice.
Objective
To provide health leaders and policy makers with a framework from which to drive paramedic system modernization.
Methods
This study uses the Knowledge to Action framework to develop an implementation plan for systems that seek to modernize their service delivery model toward that of a Professionally Autonomous paramedic system.
Results
A detailed plan of the steps required to undertake system transformation are outlined. Whilst this framework outlines the components required for system modernization, it does not propose an in-depth outline of each of the steps required to achieve each component. Rather, end users are encouraged to develop individual implementation plans tailored to the local context using the comprehensive tools outlined within.
Conclusion
This knowledge to action framework provides health leaders and policy makers with a uniform roadmap for paramedic system modernization intended to improve health (clinical) outcomes as well as health system outcomes through the Professional Autonomous paramedicine model.
期刊介绍：
Australasian Emergency Care is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to supporting emergency nurses, physicians, paramedics and other professionals in advancing the science and practice of emergency care, wherever it is delivered. As the official journal of the College of Emergency Nursing Australasia (CENA), Australasian Emergency Care is a conduit for clinical, applied, and theoretical research and knowledge that advances the science and practice of emergency care in original, innovative and challenging ways. The journal serves as a leading voice for the emergency care community, reflecting its inter-professional diversity, and the importance of collaboration and shared decision-making to achieve quality patient outcomes. It is strongly focussed on advancing the patient experience and quality of care across the emergency care continuum, spanning the pre-hospital, hospital and post-hospital settings within Australasia and beyond.
