STAT
MedEvac is a CAMTS (Commission
on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems) accredited
organization.
Accreditation is a voluntary process through which a medical transport
service (rotor wing/ fixed wing or ground critical care, interfacility) is
certified by the Commission as substantially meeting
accreditation standards.
Originally developed through an extensive public comment process and
published in 1991, revised every 2-3 years, the Accreditation Standards
address issues of patient care and safety in fixed and rotor wing services,
as well as, ground interfacility services providing critical care
transports. Accreditation Standards are periodically revised to reflect the
dynamic, changing environment of medical transport with considerable input
from all disciplines of the medical profession.
Accreditation Standards are the criteria used to measure a program's
level of quality. In order to obtain accreditation, a medical transport
service must be in substantial compliance with the Accreditation Standards.
Substantial compliance is defined as follows: "A medical transport system
demonstrates overall quality of service consistent with the essential
elements of Accreditation Standards and the professional judgment of the
Board. The service demonstrates a steady balance in all dynamic components
which comprise their specific program."
