CAMTS-appointed surveyors visited air medical bases within the Air Evac Lifeteam system in June 2019. Surveyors also spent a week at the company’s corporate headquarters in O’Fallon, Missouri. The surveyors look for compliance with accreditation standards. Seth Myers, president of Air Evac Lifeteam, said Air Evac was first accredited by CAMTS in 2008, and has earned continuous reaccreditation ever since.

“Earning this prestigious accreditation is an external validation of Air Evac Lifeteam’s commitment to quality and safety,” Myers said. “Air Evac is the largest company-wide, CAMTS-accredited program. We have met — and often exceeded — industry-wide standards.”

The CAMTS standards include patient care, medical personnel education, medical equipment, and the safety of pilots, maintenance staff, communication centers and management.

“We believe the CAMTS process and accreditation speaks volumes about our quality and safety, and we believe our customers and patients will appreciate the hard work and dedication of each employee to maintain CAMTS accreditation,” Myers said.
