August 1, 2009 AMKY
Earns Continuation of Full CAMTS Accreditation
Air
Methods Kentucky received a continuation of its full Commission on
Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS) accreditation following
the July CAMTS Board meeting. This
continues the accreditation for the program and subsequently holding the
accreditation longer than any other program in Air
Methods Kentucky was the first program in the state to receive CAMTS
accreditation in 1995 and has maintained it since. This accreditation will
continue for renewal in 2012. Another
large achievement is the fact that Air Methods Kentucky is the first Air
Methods program to receive its accreditation with the new streamlined
organizational structure. The AMKY staff is to be commended for its hard
work put into the accreditation preparation and presentation. The
CAMTS accreditation is a process that is geared to evaluate medical
transport systems in a complete fashion.
This includes administrative process, medical process, aviation
process, maintenance process, human resources, safety, and quality
assurance. The CAMTS process
is used to gauge the preparation that a medical transport program
maintains for its operation. The
program as a whole shares a part in our success with this endeavor,
whether it is from the input of information into the TAMMA system or
excellent safe operations on a daily basis.
