EMS Accreditation for Emergency Response Teams

EMS professionals need to stay current with advanced life support certifications. It’s a requirement, responsibility, and often the difference between life and death. 

Accreditation through ACLS Certification Association gives first responders the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to provide immediate care in the field that saves lives. 

Here are some of the advantages of being certified: 

• Learn More Life-Saving Skills: EMTs, paramedics, and other EMS personnel trained in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Basic Life Support (BLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) are better prepared for critical interventions.
• Better Serve the Public: Accredited EMS teams earn the confidence of the communities they serve. Patients, families, and healthcare partners trust that these professionals adhere to current standards and best practices that save the lives of their neighbors and friends.
• Reduced Liability & Improved Health Outcomes: Up-to-date training decreases the risk of errors and streamlines emergency protocols. When EMS teams improve their life-saving skills, they also reduce overall liability for EMS organizations.
