PREAMBLE
The Madison Fire Department has developed a Mobile Integrated Health Team in 2015 as part of the EMS Division within the fire department. This team works to address at risk populations and high service utilizers of emergency medical services. Through a subaward agreement in 2015 with the University of Wisconsin Board Regents, the Madison Fire Department has trained a limited number of department members on transitional coaching methods. The goal of these coaching techniques is to work with members of our community on various options for addressing their medical needs that do not require emergency transport or emergency treatment through an emergency department admission.
