About MEMS - Accreditations
Medavie EMS has significant experience in preparing for audits and evaluations of service delivery and standards. We have been part of four successful EMS accreditations including accreditation and re-accreditation by the National Academies of Emergency Dispatchers (NAED) and a full accreditation and re-accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS); a first in Canada. EMC's air ambulance service, LifeFlight, is in the process of applying for it Commission on Air Medical Transport Services (CAMTS) Accreditation. It is expected that a site visit will take place in the fall of 2012. In November of 2007 EMC was awarded the 2007 Ethics Award for businesses.
Medavie EMS (IEMS) volunteered to participate in one of the pilot surveys for Accreditation Canada during their process of validating the new EMS accreditation standards.
The APA provides training in both French and English and was recently surveyed and recommended for accreditation for both programs with the Canadian Medical Association (CMA).
