description BACKGROUND: We sought to improve the referral process to a community paramedicine (CP) program following a 9‐1‐1 encounter. METHODS: An electronic health record (EHR) for CP records with the ability to link to emergency EHR was identified and implemented with a single‐click referral to the CP program. Referrals were tracked for 15 months before and after implementation. RESULTS: Referral capacity increased from an average of 14.2 referrals per month to 44.9 referrals per month. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest an EHR is a useful investment for CP programs and may be integral to efficient program operations.
