The Role of Specialist Paramedics in Reforming Emergency Care
This document discusses expanding the specialist paramedic program in Thames Valley. It proposes increasing the number of specialist paramedics, educating them to direct patients to the appropriate clinical pathways, and allowing them to perform initial clinical tests and treatment. This could improve patient experience and care while increasing efficiency. It also recommends establishing a new advanced paramedic role to provide career progression for paramedics and ensure high staff retention. Establishing clinical hubs where specialist paramedics are based could help match patient needs with ambulance resources. The document argues for a common educational standard and skills passport for specialist paramedics across the region.
Specialist Paramedics (ECPs)
A new deployment model in Milton Keynes targeted specialist paramedic responses to the most appropriate calls. This resulted in 68% of patients seen by specialist paramedics not being conveyed to the emergency department, helping to reduce conveyance rates. Data showed conveyance rates dropped from 50% in Milton Keynes in September to 15% in December after targeted specialist paramedic deployment began in November. Specialist paramedics can positively impact the ambulance service by attending all NHS111 calls, visiting patients to confirm if a double-crewed ambulance is needed, and reflecting clinical commissioning group values of reducing silo working and enhancing patient experience. However, some specialist paramedics feel uncertain about their job security and role within the ambulance service in
Adult Emergency
The document summarizes the current emergency service landscape in Qatar. It notes there is one major tertiary hospital, three district general hospitals, and emergency departments at other specialty hospitals. There are also walk-in clinics, workers clinics, and private providers. The document discusses centralization of services for trauma, stroke, and infectious disease. It identifies current difficulties like lack of inpatient beds, poor facilities, recruitment issues, and suboptimal training programs. Recommendations include improving coordination between emergency services, accrediting emergency departments and practitioners, developing national guidelines, and centralizing high-risk services with good evidence like trauma, stroke, and STEMI based on volume and skills maintenance needs.
Simulation modeling of pre/post bed needs for an Interventional Platform
Architect Frank Zilm discusses how simulation software was used to explore the implementation of an interventional platform concept, integrating surgery, cardiac procedures, interventional radiology and endoscopy services, at Saint Louis University Hospital.
Sophisticated Prehospital Stroke Systems of Care
1. Kerry Ahrens discusses the importance of building a stroke system of care in Wisconsin to improve patient outcomes through faster treatment times.
2. Stroke is a leading cause of disability and costs $34 billion annually in the US. Building regional stroke systems can help optimize patient care through protocols to administer tPA within 30 minutes and transfer patients with large vessel occlusions to interventional centers within 90 minutes.
3. Effective collaboration between EMS, hospitals, and healthcare agencies is essential to establish standardized processes and monitor performance metrics to continually improve the efficiency of stroke care delivery.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
