CMS has created a program called ET3 or Emergency Triage, Treat, and Transport (ET3) Emergency Triage, Treat, and Transport (ET3) Model | CMS Innovation Center
What is the ET3 Model? What are the goals of this Model? - The Emergency Triage, Treat, and Transport (ET3) Model is a voluntary, five-year payment model that will provide greater flexibility to ambulance care teams to address emergency health care needs of Medicare Fee-for-Service beneficiaries following a 9-1-1 call. The goals of the Model are to provide person-centered care, increase efficiency in the EMS system, and encourage appropriate utilization of emergency medical services.
Providers are looking for ways to connect EMTs virtually with their Emergency Departments so they can Triage and Treat onsite or decide if it is best to trasport the patient to the nearest E\DR.
There are other B2B type virtual visit use cases such as the ones below, these all have some triage and routing that must happen to get the patient to the correct physician for the visits. A similar solution can be used to accommodate these scenarios as well.
EMTs currently are not equipped with all the medical training or equipment they need to fully treat all patients but treating onsite when medically viable costs everyone less money. Therefore we need a way to equip the EMTs with a way to virtually connect with an ED Physician.
There are many business outcomes if we solve this problem:
There are multiple parts to this solution
