The Caliburn-CHS Global Medical Services (GMS) team will partner with CHI Aviation to provide medical escort services for patients in non-emergency conditions who need long-distance transport to either domestic or international destinations.
The NAAMTA accreditation process includes an audit of company policies and procedures, such as safety and quality management processes, and medical and aviation policies, among others. The accreditation is confirmation of Caliburn-CHS’ skillful expertise and dedication to safety and quality patient care.
“Caliburn-CHS’ commitment to excellence is confirmed through our NAAMTA accreditation. These medical transport services represent diverse and flexible offerings within the range of our Global Medical Services capabilities,” said Caliburn’s CEO, Jim Van Dusen.
In addition to the NAAMTA Medical Transport Services Accreditation, Caliburn-CHS was separately awarded the NAAMTA Medical Escort Standards Accreditation for compliance with the Advanced Life Support scope of medical practice.
Amy Arndt, NAAMTA’s Operations Director said, “NAAMTA accreditation is globally recognized and recommended by the U.S. Department of Defense, Department of State, Department of Veteran Affairs, and Indian Health Services. CHS and Caliburn are vendors for contracts amongst these entities. Their experience with these contracts enables them to quickly document their compliance with the accreditation standards. Furthermore, both NAAMTA and CHS have ISO-certified quality management systems. This enabled us to verify compliance and witness their quality patient-care-practices, safety, and doing so with compassion.”
