PUBLIC NOTICE:

The Commission on Accreditation of Medical Transport Systems will conduct
an accreditation site visit of Prisma Health Mobile Integrated Health on August 25-26, 2025.

The purpose of the site visit will be to evaluate the program’s compliance with nationally established medical transport standards. The site visit results will be used to determine whether, and the conditions under which accreditation should be awarded to the program.

CAMTS accreditation standards deal with issues of patient care and safety of the transport environment. Anyone believing that he or she has pertinent or valid information about such matters may request a public information interview with the CAMTS site surveyors at the time of the site visit. Information presented at the interview will be carefully evaluated for relevance to the accreditation process. Requests for public information interviews must be made in writing and sent to CAMTS no later than 10 business days before the site survey begins. The request should also indicate the nature of the information to be provided during the interview. Such request should be addressed to: ADMIN@CAMTS.ORG

The Commission will acknowledge such written requests in writing or by telephone and will inform the program of the request for an interview. The Commission will, in turn, notify the interviewee of the date, time and place of the meeting.

This notice is posted in accordance with CAMTS requirements and shall not be removed until the site visit is completed.

At 1140 this morning, Prisma Health EMS Central Dispatch was notified of a significant incident at one of the large lakes with the possibility of a dozen injured. No firsthand information was available, but due to the location's remoteness and the severity of other incidents occurring throughout the country, the decision was made to activate our MCI protocol, and an Alert 2 was transmitted. Central Dispatch held all routine calls, and one ALS unit was held in reserve for continued 911 operations. All other available units were dispatched to the scene or staging. Mutual aid from Pickens County was requested, and three medical air helicopter companies were notified, along with off-duty Prisma Health EMS crews. Additionally, multiple Prisma Health resources from our bases in Pickens and Greenville Counties were dispatched to ensure continued 911 operations within Oconee County. EMS was determined not to be needed 40 minutes after dispatch.

Central Dispatch
EMS500 (Executive)
EMS502 (Director)
EMS505 (Comms Manager)

Titan Rapid Cooling bags have been added to our Quick Response Vehicles in Oconee and Greenville. While the solution is basic, we now have a way to rapidly cool heat stroke patients at the point of illness. The Rapid Cooling bags were half the cost of a traditional body bag that could do the same function.
