Air Evac Lifeteam, based in Missouri, US, has announced that it has earned full accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS).
CAMTS surveyors visited all of the air ambulance organisations’ 25 bases in June 2016, as well as its corporate headquarters. According to Air Evac Lifeteam president Seth Myers, the provider has gained accreditation every year since 2008.
Myers continued: “Earning this prestigious accreditation is an external validation of Air Evac Lifeteam’s commitment to quality and safety. Air Evac is the largest company-wide, CAMTS-accredited programme. We have met – and often exceeded – industry-wide standards.”
CAMTS takes into account a number of factors when deciding whether to accredit a company, including patient care, medical personnel education, medical equipment, and the safety of our pilots, maintenance staff, communication centres and management. Passing these categories, Myers believes, ‘speaks volumes’ about his company.
