How Can They Do That? A Comparative State Analysis of the Impact of Healthcare Regulations on MIH Programs
Mobile Integrated Health (MIH) and Community Paramedicine (CP) programs vary widely across states due to differences in laws and regulations. This session provides a comprehensive look at how state-specific regulations affect the operation, efficiency, and scalability of MIH programs. We will examine the most popular MIH models, discuss their financial and clinical goals, and explore the regulatory landscapes that enhance or inhibit their success. Participants will learn to navigate these complexities and gain insights into advocating for regulatory changes that foster the growth and effectiveness of MIH services.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the most common MIH models, including their financial and clinical outcomes.
- Analyze how variations in state laws and regulations affect MIH staffing, costs, and program effectiveness.
- Discuss strategies for advocating changes in laws or regulations that limit MIH program expansion.
- Learn methodologies for analyzing and amending state laws and regulations to better support MIH initiatives.
This session will equip attendees with the knowledge to assess and influence the regulatory environment, promoting more effective and expansive MIH programs.
