Standards

Regional Paramedic Practice Standards

Certain approved programs in our area may publish additional guidance for the safety and quality of care of the patients who benefit from the program. Examples of these regional programs include stroke or trauma bypass and the Paramedics Providing Palliative Care program. The RPPEO partners with the groups who lead these initiatives to help inform their processes. The responsibility to monitor and update these standards rests with the organizations who lead these programs. For this reason, the RPPEO does not re-publish regional or local program documents.

The RPPEO publishes policies for paramedics to use in their clinical work and professional certifications. Our policies help paramedics understand what is expected in terms of process, timing, reporting, documentation and other rights and responsibilites.

RPPEO Policies

Provincial Paramedic Practice Standards

Ontario provicial standards set the expectations for paramedic clinical practice. They are provincially developed and maintained through the Ontario Base Hospital - Medical Advisory Group and approved by the Ministry of Health's Director of the Emergency Health Regulatory and Accountability Branch (EHRAB). Paramedics across Ontario are expected to provide clinical care by following these standards:

THE RPPEO WAY

The RPPEO has a unique way of working so that we can help realize the The Ottawa Hospital vision and live the values everyday.

Our Culture

We are a learning organization. We are willing to change anything and everything needed to help paramedicine in Eastern Ontario be its best, including our organizational design and culture. The only thing we will not change is our commitment to patient safety, quality of paramedic care and delivering results.

​When functioning efficiently and effectively, our organization is consistent, legally defendable, reproducible and based on best practice and current scientific evidence in all domains: clinical, educational and quality & safety.

The RPPEO's educational activities are reproducible by all coordinators, instructors and facilitators, and are performance monitored. They are chosen to address issues identified from the RPPEO’s quality data or to impart new information. We continue to search for innovative ways to provide these educational services, while meeting the established standards. Our objective assessment of paramedic competency uses impartial measurement of performance, using industry standard assessment tools.

The philosophy of RPPEO’s quality and patient safety activities is preventing medical errors before they occur by understanding the conditions that allow them - and reducing their occurrences. We use performance indicators, patient outcomes, and compare measures to benchmarks. Our work to assess patient care uses standardized, inter-operator reliability.

The RPPEO clearly communicates our purpose - and how we intend to achieve it - with staff and stakeholders - through defined processes.

Communication is critical to a well-functioning organization. The RPPEO works collaboratively internally and with our partners, clients and stakeholders to meet the needs of all involved. We maintain ongoing communications to share common goals and reinforce objectives while taking the requirements of partners, clients and stakeholders into account.

We achieve and maintain business continuity through well-thought-out and well-communicated policies, procedures and processes. The RPPEO ensures these policies, procedures and processes are developed in consultation with our partners, staff and stakeholders. They are process-mapped and tested before we place them into official use.

The RPPEO’s strategic vision is broken into a series of frameworks and plans that enable us to progress towards our vision. The Quality Framework, the Education Framework, and their enabling plans, the IT Plan and the Communications Framework, are designed to communicate our vision and provide the road map to achieving it. We use these guiding documents to plan our yearly strategic goals. At its heart, our vision reflects our desire to Standardize, Automate, Measure, Evaluate, Develop and Improve (SAMEDI) all the RPPEO's work.

Throughout our history since 2009, our work has grown and adapted while these 12 principles have emerged as the way we conduct our ourselves and approach our work.

Our Principles

  • We value individual life-long learning

    We want people to challenge themselves and grow. This principle supports the Ottawa Hospital Core Value of Commitment to Quality.

  • We are a learning organization

  • ​People are important

    We believe that the passion, devotion and professionalism of our staff are inherent to the success of our work. This principle supports the Ottawa Hospital Core Value of Respect for the Individual.

  • Patients are the centre of our universe

    We think that the patients' standpoints are the best ways for paramedics to approach care and for reviewing the work that we do to support paramedicine. This principle supports all the Ottawa Hospital Core Values.

  • Well-designed process is important

    We value designing process for efficiency, better experience, and improved safety. We believe in continuous process improvement that simplifies, standardizes, and streamlines. This principle supports the Ottawa Hospital Core Value of Commitment to Quality.

  • Systems thinking is our strategic way to operate

    We realize that our work is done within a context of interconnected people and processes. This principle supports all the Ottawa Hospital Core Values.

  • We show empathy and compassion

    We care about people. This principle supports the Ottawa Hospital Core Value of Compassion.

    We think that it is important to use scientific analysis, empirical evidence and demonstrated best-practice in creating process or making decisions. This principle supports the Ottawa Hospital Core Value of Commitment to Quality.

  • We seek to lead practice

    We believe using promising or innovative ways to solve problems can lead to change, improvement and evidence. We think of ourselves as leaders in patient safety and quality of paramedic care. This principle supports the Ottawa Hospital Core Value of Commitment to Quality.

  • ​Teamwork and collaboration are ways of life

    We think we are better as an organization when people speak up, when we challenge ideas and when we put our projects out to our colleagues for their input. We work together internally and among partners with confidence and trust. These principles support the Ottawa Hospital Core Value of Working Together.

The Canadian Centre for Substance Abuse is addressing the stigma surrounding substance use through online learning.

They have developed an introductory learning module as the first in a planned series of modules on the topic of stigma and substance use. These modules are developed with the needs of both the general public and professional audiences in mind. The first module, The Sting of Stigma, will introduce you to the concept of stigma, and explain why it is harmful and what its impacts are on people with problematic substance use and substance use disorder.

After completing the first module, you will understand that substance use disorder is a medically diagnosed health condition and that by using person-first language you can begin to change the way you think about people with substance use disorder. The overarching goal of this and future modules is to increase your understanding of stigma and equip you with the tools and knowledge you need to address stigma at home, in the workplace and in your communities.

Learning Objectives

This course will help you understand:

  • What stigma is and the different types of stigma;
  • The impacts of stigma on people with substance use disorder;
  • That substance use disorder is a medically recognized health condition; and
  • That replacing stigmatizing language with person-first language is a simple step you can take towards reducing the harms of stigma.

RPPEO has pre-approved this CME for 1 Elective Credit.  Please submit proof of participation to education@rppeo.cam quoting  ECA-889
