Problem
Your agency has been directed by community leaders to develop and implement a community paramedic program targeting injury prevention among the elderly. You are now tasked with providing a briefing for executive leadership to consider how the model will be funded initially and where funds for sustainability will come from. In your brief you can focus on three of the four options listed below, and identify whether it would be initial funding or sustainable funding.
i. Grant funding opportunities
ii. Referral or subscription fees
iii. Cost avoidance
Prior to beginning the planning process, you must receive an approval of the funding strategies.
Your briefing should be written such that it can be read by others or referenced by you if verbally presented. It should not be longer than two pages.
