MIH-CP Foundations

"The providers who change outcomes in MIH aren't just clinically sharp — they understand the system their patients are living inside, and they know how to move through it."

The AEMT formalizing MIH work

Already doing informal community follow-ups at her agency, she needs the structured framework, documentation standards, and compliance knowledge to make it official.

The EMS supervisor building a program

Tasked with standing up a new MIH unit, he needs the program design, billing, and stakeholder strategy tools to get leadership buy-in and keep it funded.

The EMT expanding scope

Positioned at an agency that runs MIH at the EMT level, he wants the community health and chronic disease coaching skills to perform confidently in the role.

The new-grad paramedic differentiating early

Fresh out of paramedic school and targeting MIH-CP positions, she wants the specialized credential and curriculum depth to stand out in a competitive hiring landscape.

The fire-based medic transitioning to MIH

A fire/EMS cross-trained provider whose department is launching a community health initiative and needs him ready to run solo home visits with confidence.

Matthew Michaud

If you've been in EMS long enough, you've had the call that didn't need an ambulance — it needed a plan. The frequent flier whose CHF is blowing up every three weeks because nobody reconciled her meds. The elderly patient who fell again because the throw rug is still there and nobody from his care team has ever set foot in that apartment. The guy in behavioral health crisis who needed a warm handoff to a counselor, not a 5150 and a four-hour ED wait.\n\nYou already knew the system was missing something. MIH-CP is the answer the field has been building toward — and this course exists to get you there with the clinical rigor and operational grounding that role demands.\n\nI built MIH-CP Foundations for providers who are done waiting for someone else to formalize this work. Every module is written at the level of someone who already knows what a SOAP note is, already understands dispatch triage logic, and doesn't need EMS 101 repackaged as innovation. What you'll get here is the specific framework the MIH-CP role requires: community health assessment methodology, SDOH screening tools you can actually use, motivational interviewing techniques that translate to real chronic disease conversations, home safety evaluation standards, and the documentation and HIPAA compliance requirements that are unique to this scope — not recycled from your initial EMT course.\n\nI also know that clinical excellence alone doesn't keep a program running. That's why we go deep on program sustainability: how to structure an MIH model, how Medicare MIH billing works (and what your documentation needs to support a G0320 or G0321 claim), how to track the outcome metrics that matter to your medical director and your city council, and how to walk into a room with EMS leadership and make the case with data. A great program that loses funding in year two helped nobody.\n\nThe providers who do this work well are the ones who can move fluidly between clinical assessment and community navigation, between care plan documentation and a motivational conversation at a kitchen table. This curriculum builds that full range. If you're ready to expand your scope and your impact — in a sustainable, protocol-grounded, ethically sound way — I'm glad you're here. Let's get to work.
