CRC Press - Safety and Quality in Medical Transport Systems

Improve operational safety within your medical transport organization with this essential guide from CRC Press. Developed through the expertise of the Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS), this resource addresses the most pressing needs of air and ground transport services. Since 1991, CAMTS has worked to improve standards, and this book provides the framework needed to build a culture that prioritizes safety and quality for both patients and crews. Many accidents in helicopter EMS and ground ambulance services stem from human factors and system designs that impact decision-making. This book explores how to mitigate these risks by addressing the root causes of errors. It highlights the role of management commitment in establishing a sustainable environment for risk assessment. By focusing on system design and human factors, your organization can work toward reducing accidents and improving the standard of care provided during transport.
