Original job description

Position Type:

Permanent

Closing date:

Emergency Medical Care Inc. (EMC) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Medavie Health Services (MHS) that manages and operates ground ambulance, air medical transport and the medical communications operations in Nova Scotia through a performance-based contract with the provincial government's Emergency Health Services (EHS) Operations division and the Department of Health and Wellness. As well, EMC operates TeleHealth/811 medical communications for Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island for the Department of Health.

We access all communities in Nova Scotia in a timely and efficient manner with our fleet of more than 180 ambulances and support vehicles operating out of 60+ stations. We respond to 165,000+ calls annually across the province, which are actively managed through the EHS Operations Medical Communications Centre, the hub of all emergency (911) and non-emergency (hospital transfers) medical calls.

The EHS Operations LifeFlight program provides even greater accessibility by responding to patients on scene or through inter-facility transports by our critical care team via helicopter, fixed wing, or ground ambulance.

In addition, paramedics in Nova Scotia participate in various programs both urban and rural such as community-based paramedic programs, collaborative emergency centres, and emergency preparedness and special operations, to name a few.

There are lots of opportunities waiting for you in Nova Scotia. Apply now to learn more about our service and available positions.

Nature and Scope

Reporting to the Manager of Interprofessional Practice & Learning, the Special Patient Program (SPP) Lead shall be responsible for oversight of the EHS SPP, supporting the promotion of safe and effective person-centred care.

The incumbent will be responsible for, but not limited to, processing, amending and approving SPP applications, promoting the program within and outside of EMCI, overseeing revisions to the SPP process, developing care plans, and collaborating with patients, families, and healthcare providers. The SPP Lead shall work in close collaboration with Interprofessional Practice & Learning, Risk and Patient Safety, and Operations Divisions to ensure the success and sustainability of the SPP.

The incumbent will work directly with ground operations, the Medical Communications Centre, EHS physicians, Nova Scotia Health, and other partners to proactively identify patients requiring care and/or response plans and develop appropriate plans accordingly. The SPP Lead will also collaborate with EHS physicians to identify the need for, and development of, care plans.

The SPP Lead must have good organizational and computer skills and are able to work on their own with little supervision.

As an employee of EMC, the SPP Lead will be accountable to our patients and coworkers by participating in and supporting all safety related initiatives, as well as acting in a manner that fosters a culture that focuses on patient safety and a safe workplace.

Though the position is listed as being in Dartmouth, it may be possible to work from anywhere within the province.
