REMSA Health currently holds accreditations across divisions
Accreditations are the backbone of quality and safety throughout the organization and represent REMSA’s commitment to meeting national and international standards. These standards ensure the highest quality of service for our patients, students, and community.
REMSA Communications
International Academies of Emergency Dispatch – Accredited Center of Excellence
REMSA Health’s Regional Emergency Communications Center has been recognized as a medical Accredited Center of Excellence (ACE) by the International Academy of Emergency Dispatch since 2001, the first in the state of Nevada. In 2024 REMSA Health also became Washoe County’s first fire ACE . Accreditation (and subsequent re-accreditation) from the IAED is the highest distinction given to emergency communication centers, certifying that the center is performing at or above the established standards for the industry. This accreditation is awarded to only those centers who demonstrate superior performance in training, quality assurance and improvement process, and very high compliance using the Medical Priority protocol system.
REMSA Center for Prehospital Education
Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs
Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP) accreditation of the REMSA Paramedic program ensures consistent quality and adherence to national education standards for all students. This accreditation ensures that students from the REMSA program are eligible to sit for the national paramedic exam and requires a high level of reporting and tracking to ensure student success. Accreditation in the health-related disciplines serves a very important public interest. Along with certification and licensure, accreditation is a tool intended to help assure a well-prepared and qualified workforce providing healthcare services.
Care Flight Air Medical Transport
Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems
The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems (CAMTS) is dedicated to improving the quality of patient care and safety of the transport environment for services providing rotor wing, fixed wing and ground transport systems. CAMTS accreditation standards are the criteria used to measure our level of quality. To obtain accreditation, our service has demonstrated substantial compliance with specific criteria in areas including communications, helipads, infection control, legal and ethical practices, qualified maintenance, risk analysis, operations, safety management systems, fatigue management, training and education, and qualified staff including pilots and medical providers.
All accreditation logos are used in accordance with the guidelines and policies defined by the accrediting body. REMSA represents that it is in good standing and currently accredited by the organizations listed above.
