Fit2Sit Phase 1 was launched on December 31, 2021 to assist with the offloading of patients to the waiting room following the triage process, and improve hospital offload times.

Toronto Paramedic Services (TPS) will soon launch Phase 2 of the Fit2Sit Program. In Phase 2, Paramedics will no longer have to remain with Fit2Sit patients to communicate a full triage report. Paramedics will use Fit2Sit guidelines to identify patients that are able to self-triage.

Attached are the Fit2Sit Phase 2 – Joint Guidelines (https://torontomedics.ca/today/32191/) which outline the process that Paramedics and hospital partners will follow. TPS Education has developed an online training program, in addition to Q&As (https://torontomedics.ca/today/32202/) to further enhance the understanding of the program.

A memo will be released in the upcoming weeks that will announce the “GO LIVE” date.  The information is being released early to allow Paramedics and hospital staff to familiarize themselves with program changes. Paramedics are to continue to follow the current process for Fit2Sit Phase 1 at this time.

Thank you for your ongoing dedication, resilience and teamwork as we continue to do everything we can to protect our communities. Additional information will be communicated in the near future.

Sincerely,
