The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Services (CAMTS) announced that Atrium Health’s Mobile Integrated Health, Mobile Medicine from Charlotte, North Carolina, is the first entity that has earned full accreditation under CAMTS Mobile Integrated Healthcare (MIH) Accreditation Standards.

“For Atrium Health’s Mobile Integrated Health team, this accreditation signifies our organization's commitment to providing safe, high-quality medical care by meeting specific criteria related to safety, equipment, quality, training, and operational procedures to patients in our communities. This accreditation serves as a symbol of excellence within the industry, and we are proud to have it.” said Atrium MIH director Amanda Williams.

For accreditation, the program completes a self-assessment using a standards compliance tool. Once submitted, the standards compliance tool is reviewed for compliance and completeness before site surveyors visit the program to interview the staff.

“We knew it would be a while after we published the standards for programs to apply and complete the process," said CAMTS executive director Eileen Frazer. "Most programs need as much as a year to prepare documents, policies and procedures, education records, meeting minutes, safety documents, etcetera to meet the standards. We ask for a lot of documentation and interview a lot of people in the program as part of the process.”
