“The ER has become a dumping ground,” said Anne Jensen, coordinator of San Diego’s Resource Access Program, a group of six community paramedics who focus on an estimated 1,236 frequent users of 911 citywide. Since their program launched, the community paramedics have obtained more than 650 waivers from these individuals—mostly homeless men and women. The forms allow them and other caregivers to place the patients in detox facilities and provide case management that includes supervised housing.
Community paramedic team helps ease drain on 911 system by reaching out to frequent users.
