Working together, Empress and UCM will direct patients away from unnecessary hospital visits.

Under the partnership, Empress will serve as an extension of UCM Digital Health when it is determined that hands-on care is needed for a patient.

A paramedic provided through Empress EMS will be deployed to the location of the patient, if UCM concludes that in-person treatment is required at the time of virtual consult.

Paramedics will check vital signs, perform a physical examination, assess social health determinants, and may also conduct critical diagnostic tests.

UCM Digital Health EMS & 911 business development director Steven Anderson said: “This is an exciting opportunity to bring the skills and expertise of our partner Empress to provide a higher level of care to patients.
