| Community Paramedic Program | Community Integrated Health:Community Integrated Health (CIH) is a newer approach to healthcare where paramedics and EMTs (emergency medical technicians) use their skills in a larger role to address community health needs. A CIH Provider (CIHP) will connect patients to appropriate community resources that better serve patients than the 911 system. These might include mental health and follow-up care for chronic diseases such as congestive heart failure, diabetes, COPD, and asthma. CIH provides preventative healthcare, home safety evaluations, and addresses medical needs in the home to reduce hospital transports for non-emergent care needs. Central Montana Medical Center is embracing the CIH movement as a way to improve access to healthcare, enhance community-based preventative care, and provide additional opportunities for EMTs and paramedics to care for their communities. Referrals can come from anyone who identifies that there may be a need, not just a physician - once the referral is made the patient will be contacted for consent to the program. Please see below for program brochure, program overview, and referral form. Referrals can be emailed to aphelps@cmmccares.com.

They set up a hospital bed and other equipment. We had aides visit almost daily. The nurses visited regularly and were on call day and night. They all have such compassion. They set up the medications and trained me how to give them. It was just wonderful. I highly recommend hospice to other families.” - Loire, Caregiver More Hospice Information |

| PADnet Testing |  The easiest and least expensive method to test for Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD).
8-10 million Americans have PAD. Without proper treatment, 30% are likely to die in 5 years of PAD-related heart attack or stroke. PAD is a condition in which fatty deposits build up on the inner linings of arteries, and restrict the flow of blood to muscles and organs; especially the kidneys, stomach, arms, legs and feet. A PADnet test measures the blood volume in the patient’s extremities by using a series of blood pressure readings. This non-invasive test can be completed in 15-20 minutes at CMMC. This vascular test can also check for Peripheral Venous Disease (PVD) – a general term for damage, defects or blockage in the peripheral veins, most commonly found in the arms and legs (like varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency).

There is no place like home...At Central Montana Medical Center, we are committed to helping you or a loved one recover here “at home” after surgery or hospitalization. Our swing bed program can provide a transition period between hospitalization and your return home. If you or a loved one are recovering from surgery, stroke, head injury, need IV antibiotics, or specialized wound care, our healthcare team here at CMMC is ready to help you recover while close to family and friends.Often Asked QuestionsWhat is Swing Bed?Swing Bed is a program established by Medicare specifically for smaller hospitals and communities. It is the term used to describe a hospital room that can be used as an acute care bed and/or a skilled care bed. The actual bed/room does not change; what changes is the level of care the patient receives. Not everyone is able or strong enough to return to everyday living after a hospital stay. Some need extra time to recuperate and recover. Swing Bed can help make a smooth transition between hospital and home. Even if you were hospitalized elsewhere, you can transfer to the Swing Bed program at CMMC bringing you closer to home and family.Who qualifies for Swing Bed?Patients who would benefit from CMMC’s Swing Bed Program are those who have already been in the hospital for at least 3 days, but require additional nursing care and/or rehab services on a daily basis.

| Wound Care | How do I know if I need Wound Care Services?Anyone who has a non-healing wound may benefit from this specialty service.What types of wounds can be treated?
What will I experience in the clinic?Patients are generally referred by their primary physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant to the outpatient wound care department. You will then be evaluated by the wound care specialist where a complete review of your medicines, history, and evaluation of the wound will be done. There may be additional tests as necessary determined at that time. After the initial evaluation, the wound care specialist and your primary physician will develop a plan of care based on your individual needs. This involves regular visits to the outpatient wound care department where progression, evaluation, measurements, and treatment adjustments will be made if necessary to promote healing. The patient and family is always involved in the plan of care and instructed to help with the healing progression. This includes dressing changes, lifestyle, and diet. You will be taught to monitor progression between visits and to inform your primary physician and wound care specialist of any problems.What kind of treatments may be used?
