  • Identifying and addressing the unique needs of elderly patients within the community is a public health priority.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore a city's innovative strategy for connecting elderly patients with community services.
  • To investigate the role of prehospital providers in facilitating this connection.
  • To understand how tailored community services can meet the specific needs of the elderly population.

Main Methods:

  • A case study approach examining a specific city's EMS integration model.
