AB Whereas  traditional  EMS  largely  focuses  on  the  provision  of  emergency  care  and  the  stabilization  and  management  of  patients  during  transport,  out-of-hospital  care  agencies  have  long  been  interested  in  alternative  frameworks  of  providing  care  that  could  expand  the  role  and  increase  the  value  of  EMS  systems  to  the  community,  to  patients,  and  to  the  health  care  system.1,2  The  EMS  Agenda  for  the  Future  published  in  1996  envisions  EMS  treatment  to  be  a  part  “of  a  complete  health  care  program,”  with  “finances  …  linked  to  value.”3  In  1997,  Neely  et  al.  articulated  the  multiple  option  decision  point  model  which  allows  for  an  EMS  call  to  be  responded  to  with  a  variety  of  transportation  options  and  to  a  variety  of  destinations.4  In  recent  years,  these  ideas  have  become  embodied  within  the  term  community  paramedicine  (CP),  also  known  as  mobile  integrated  health  care.
