Abstract

More than 80% of Americans would prefer to die at home, but only 20% do. Paramedics have a role in caring for terminally ill patients, especially when involved in a community setting. A knowledge gap was noted with community paramedics (CPs) regarding end-of-life questions and palliative care for paramedics. This evidence-based quality improvement project aimed to provide structured, evidence-based palliative and hospice education to CPs. Nurse practitioners can provide education and training on palliative and hospice care to CPs and help patients remain at home.
