CAAS Re-Accreditation Announcement

Northeast Regional Ambulance Service, contracted 911 EMS Provider for the City of Beverly and the Town of Danvers, is happy to announce that the Commission for Accreditation of Ambulance Service (CAAS) has awarded full accreditation to our organization for another three years! The organization is also extremely pleased to announce, for the third consecutive time, Northeast had zero deficiencies and received a perfect score.

The accreditation process established by CAAS was developed to promote high quality patient care in the medical transportation system. Each organization is evaluated by a series of standards and an independent review by two seasoned EMS professionals (one of which is a physician). CAAS accreditation is considered the “Gold Standard” for the industry. Northeast Regional is one of only two ambulance services in Massachusetts to hold this accreditation.

Northeast has been accredited since September of 2008 and is very proud to remain accredited until September of 2026.

Northeast Regional Ambulance Service Earns Re-Accreditation

MIDDLETON — Northeast Regional Ambulance Service wishes to provide the following update:

On May 24, 2021 the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) Board of Commissioners met and granted Northeast Regional Ambulance Service accreditation for the fifth consecutive time since 2008. Accreditation is considered the “gold standard” of EMS.

Less than two percent of ambulance services nationwide achieve this recognition. In order to become accredited, an ambulance service is evaluated on over 400 standards, many of which exceed state and federal EMS requirements. Northeast Regional was rated at 100 percent compliance with all 400 standards.

Marcie McGlynn, CAAS administrator emailed us yesterday with the results and stated “Congratulations on a job well done!” and “Congratulations on receiving a perfect score!” Northeast Regional appreciates the accreditation process because it allows us to confirm through a panel of independent industry experts that all of our company policies, procedures and systems are providing the highest quality care and service possible.

We are particularly proud of the fact that for the past nine years, we have consistently received perfect scores on every one of our accreditation audits.

Northeast Regional Ambulance Service Earns National Industry Re-Accreditation

MIDDLETON — President Brian Caponigro is pleased to announce that Northeast Regional Ambulance Service earned full re-accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services.

Northeast Regional Ambulance Service is one of only 180 ambulance service providers nationwide to successfully complete the voluntary review process. It earned re-accreditation after a commission team found no deficiencies during an on-site review last month.

The most recent review was Northeast Regional’s second straight time achieving re-accreditation with a perfect score, putting the organization in rare company among ambulance services.

In order to earn accreditation, ambulance services must complete a comprehensive application process before submitting to an on-site review conducted by a team of emergency medical services experts. Northeast Regional Ambulance Service first earned accreditation in 2008.

“I’m grateful for the concerted effort on the part of everyone on our team, which helped us earn this prestigious honor.” Caponigro said. “Remaining an accredited ambulance service reflects our sustained commitment to excellence in patient care, and achieving a perfect score on our last two-accreditation is an extraordinary accomplishment.”

The Commission is a nonprofit organization that was established to encourage and promote quality patient care in America’s medical transportation system. The primary focus of the commission’s standards is high-quality patient care. This is accomplished by establishing national standards, which not only address the delivery of patient care, but also the ambulance service’s total operation and its relationships with other agencies, the general public and the medical community.
