Lee County EMS awarded national accreditation
Lee County Emergency Medical Services recently received accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services.
The accreditation confirms the organization’s compliance with CAAS’ national standards of excellence.
Lee County EMS is one of only 175 ambulance services in the country – and one of 15 in Florida – to successfully complete the voluntary review process, which included completion of a comprehensive application and on-site review by national experts in emergency medical services.
CAAS is a non-profit organization that was established to encourage and promote quality patient care in America’s medical transportation system.
The primary focus of the commission’s standards is high-quality patient care. This is accomplished by establishing national standards that not only address the delivery of patient care, but also the ambulance service’s total operation and its relationships with other agencies, the general public and the medical community.
The commission’s standards often exceed state or local licensing requirements.
This is the Lee County Public Safety Department’s fourth accreditation.
The services provided by the department are also accredited by the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch for both fire and EMS communications. LeeFlight, the county’s air medical program, is accredited by The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transportation Services.
