BARABOO, Wis. — A new pilot study in Sauk County will test whether specially-trained paramedics can reduce visits to the local emergency room. The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and the Baraboo District Ambulance Service are working with several partners on a study of community paramedics. The idea is to train paramedics to do in-home evaluations of patients that may suffer from asthma, pulmonary disease or other conditions.
