Clinical Cases in Paramedicine by
"Paramedicine is a fast-paced profession and those who practice as paramedics must be able to keep up-to-date with changes using the latest evidence and expert opinion. Paramedic education is at the forefront of clinical practice and must drive the standards experienced in the back of an ambulance and to achieve this it must also remain abreast of the latest evidence and pedagogical activity in the classroom. The case studies in this book bring together a diverse range of cases that accurately represent the caseload experienced by contemporary paramedics all in one place. They use a mix of evidence-based cases and expert opinion supplied by leaders in the industry. Case-based learning (CBL) and problem-based learning (PBL) rely on high quality, well-written case studies that paramedic educators, students, and clinicians can use to aid their understanding of out-of-hospital care. Not only is the content contemporary but the cases are structured in a manner that reflects a systematic approach to each scene allowing students to develop a sense of structure to the way they proceed into each case. Each chapter has a range of interactive learning activities that allow students to stop and think about what is going on, and the questions throughout the cases provide students with additional learning opportunities"-- Provided by publisher

Infection Control Policies for Community Paramedicine and MIH by
In her new book, Infection Control Policies for Community Paramedicine & MIH, Katherine West explains how good infection control practices, vaccines and immunizations, cleaning and disinfection of equipment and work restriction guidelines can assist EMS providers and improve patient care. WHAT ARE THE ISSUES? Hospital patients are being discharged without receiving or fully understanding discharge instructions. This omission can lead to readmission of the patient. With the basics in place, departments can move on to expanding services to the community. Departments that are looking to expand services to meet the needs of the elderly, disabled and those living in rural areas where access to healthcare is not easily accessible, will need to refocus and expand infection control practices for the home care environment. Medical facilities are looking to EMS as the possible source for patient infections. Documentation and compliance monitoring will serve as liability reduction and risk management tools. EMS is now under the scope of healthcare associated infections (HAIs). The new term HAI is much broader and applies to more healthcare care delivery services.
