Authorizes collaborative programs for community paramedicine services as part of the hospital-home care-physician collaboration program.

The bill amends the public health law to authorize collaborative programs for community paramedicine services. These programs, part of the hospital-home care-physician collaboration program, aim to improve patient care access, management, and health outcomes. They may include service planning, recruitment and training of staff, continuing education, and use of evidence-based approaches. The bill also establishes a framework for voluntary initiatives to address disparities in health care access and treatment, particularly in underserved populations.
