Air medical accreditation from CAMTS focuses on patient care and safety in medical transports

AirMed's Medical Transports Are Fully Accredited

The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Services (CAMTS) is comprised of 20 non-profit member organizations. Its mission is to promote the improvement of medical transport services quality and safety within the emergency medical transport community. AirMed has maintained accreditation since 1998.

CAMTS offers a voluntary evaluation of compliance with accreditation standards targeting areas of patient care and safety in the medical transport environment to Fixed Wing, Rotor Wing, Ground, and Commercial Medical Escort transport providers. Each standard is supported by measurable criteria to appraise the quality of service provided by the program.

As reflected on the CAMTS website, Accreditation Standards are periodically revised to reflect the dynamic, changing environment of medical transport, The Accreditation Standards are developed with considerable input from all disciplines of the medical profession and serve as a marker of excellence for federal, state, and local governmental agencies, as well as private agencies and the general public. AirMed’s leadership team regularly refers to these standards in setting priorities, assigning resources, implementing policies and procedures, and understanding industry expectations for all aspects of the company.

Regarded as a leader in the industry for long-range evacuation transports, AirMed has been a featured program on the CAMTS website and has receiving accolades by CAMTS for “continued operational excellence” with several of AirMed’s policies and procedures being cited as Best Practices in the CAMTS Best Practices for the past two publications. While CAMTS may be required to fulfill various state regulations and contractual mandates, we feel strongly that this should not be the primary goal for achieving and maintaining accreditation. CAMTS accreditation is essential to our members, customers, employees and our company. AirMed’s commitment to the accreditation process for both critical care air medical transport and commercial medical escorts reflects our dedication to excellence.

AirMed is the only air ambulance company in the world fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS), the European Aero-Medical Institute (EURAMI), and the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). These strict accreditation standards ensure the utmost safety, covering every part of the AirMed operation from patient medical care to aircraft certifications and ongoing safety.
