Depuis son lancement en Nouvelle-Écosse, à l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard et en Alberta, le programme Ambulanciers paramédicaux et soins palliatifs a été déployé dans neuf provinces, dont Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, le Nouveau-Brunswick, l’Ontario, le Manitoba, la Saskatchewan et la Colombie-Britannique.

Grâce à cette initiative, plus de 7 500 ambulancières et ambulanciers paramédicaux ont été formés et outillés pour fournir des soins essentiels au domicile de personnes recevant des soins palliatifs. Une récente étude met en lumière les avantages significatifs du programme, à commencer par un gain de temps et une réduction des coûts.

Les Premières Nations, les Inuit et les Métis ont des droits intrinsèques en matière de santé et de mieux-être au Canada. Pourtant, pour beaucoup d’entre eux, les résultats cliniques sont inférieurs à ceux d’autres groupes de population. Cette situation est due aux inégalités d’accès à des soins sûrs et de haute qualité, associées aux répercussions persistantes de la colonisation et du racisme systémique. En tant qu’organisme de santé, notre responsabilité est d’améliorer la sécurité culturelle et de combattre le racisme systémique.

Aujourd’hui, nous faisons les premiers pas vers un nouvel avenir pour l’AMC, un avenir que nous nous engageons à bâtir en collaboration avec les communautés des Premières Nations, des Inuits et de la Nation métisse.

CMA apologizes to Indigenous Peoples for harms caused by medical profession 09/19/2024

First Nations, Inuit and Métis have inherent rights to health and wellness in Canada, yet many experience poorer health outcomes compared to other people. These outcomes are the result of inequities in access to safe, high-quality care connected to the ongoing impacts of colonization and systemic racism. As a healthcare organization, we have a responsibility in improving cultural safety and addressing systemic racism.

CMA apologizes to Indigenous Peoples for harms caused by medical profession The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) apologized for its role, and the role of the medical profession, in past and ongoing harms to First Nations, Inuit and Métis Peoples in the health system. In presenting the apology, CMA President Dr. Joss Reimer spoke of the CMA’s commitment to being account...

Une récente étude met en lumière les avantages significatifs des soins palliatifs prodigués à domicile par le personnel ambulancier paramédical. Cette approche centrée sur le patient permet de tenir compte des préférences des bénéficiaires, représente un gain de temps pour le personnel et se traduit par une réduction des coûts.

On estime le montant économisé à 2 773 $ par appel au 9-1-1 lorsque les ambulanciers prodiguent des soins centrés sur le patient au domicile des personnes atteintes d’un cancer ou d’autres maladies limitant l’espérance de vie.
