  • Emergency Medical Services and Community Care

    Pittsford Volunteer Ambulance, Inc. was requested for 4,676 responses, provided emergency medical services (including basic and advanced life support services) to 3,105 patients during the fiscal year, and transported 2,378 patients for continued medical care. Not every response results in contact with a patient, and not all contacts result in transport, which is consistent with industry norms.(Continued on Schedule O)We recognize increasing local demand for service, compounded by a significantly increased demand for mutual-aid service while neighboring ambulance service providers struggle to address workforce shortages and fiscal challenges. Inadequate reimbursement for services, including non-payments for non-transport services and antiquated fee-schedules for Medicare and Medicaid, will also continue to negatively impact EMS service delivery, as fiscal constraints will reduce potential for EMS providers to stabilize their workforce and address expanding community expectation. We anticipate the cumulative effect of these issues will be associated with a sustained period of volatility in healthcare demand, including in EMS service delivery.EMS (PVA included) continues to pursue incorporation of telehealth and treat-at-home options, with payment for this service to follow a period of demonstrated value. PVA is actively implementing non-traditional care options while simultaneously seeking funding to support development. Overall PVA continues to provide emergency responses and care, and is working to stay on the leading edge of developing trends and opportunities.
