LifeNet Achieves CAAS Accreditation

For our compliance with the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) national standards of excellence, LifeNet has received national accreditation three times. The Commission is a non-profit organization established to encourage and promote quality patient care in America ’s medical transportation system. The CAAS standards address the delivery of patient care, a service’s operational components, and its relationships with other agencies, the general public, and the local medical community.

LifeNet first became accredited in 2000 becoming one of the first ambulance services in Arkansas and the 80th ambulance service in the country to successfully complete the voluntary review process. This process included completion of a comprehensive application and an on-site review by national experts in emergency medical services.
