Cal-Ore Life Flight recently received reaccreditation for their air ambulance operations through the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS). CAMTS is dedicated to improving the quality of patient care and safety of the ambulance transport environment. An internationally recognized organization, CAMTS is ranked as the leader in establishing air ambulance standards over and above FAA, State and Federal regulations.

CAMTS surveyors spent two days completing an intensive site inspection of the company’s operations and interviewing staff, hospitals and other companies that regularly interface with Cal-Ore Life Flight. Prior to the visit, Cal-Ore was required to prepare and submit detailed documentation for the CAMTS Board of Directors review and assistance in developing the site visit plan. The Board of Directors then determined, based on the surveyor’s report and submitted documentation, that Cal-Ore Life Flight continues to demonstrate their ability to deliver service in compliance with CAMTS high standards, and granted reaccreditation.

Of an estimated 500 air ambulance services system wide, Cal-Ore Life Flight is one of only 151 accredited services.

Cal-Ore President, Dan Brattain said, “Remaining CAMTS requires outstanding dedication, communication and teamwork from all of our employees and management. They truly believe that voluntarily exceeding the Federal, State and local licensing requirements is the best way to ensure we continue to provide the highest quality patient care and safest operations.”
