ET3 Treat in Place Program Implementation in a Large Urban EMS System
The NYC EMS launch of the ET3 pilot was met with very low acceptance from eligible participants. The pilot helped to identify implementation challenges including proper personnel training, public outreach and awareness, and technological barriers. There is promise in avoiding transportation to the ED among those willing to participate with an even smaller rate of those requiring further unscheduled acute care. Our findings highlight limited offerings of ET3 encounters, and poor patient participation once offered. Further initiatives may consider workflow improvements and education to the public to improve willingness to participate.
