The Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) is pleased to announce the launch of a new paperless electronic application submission process.   In an effort to streamline the submission process, increase agency productivity and reduce waste and printing expense, CAAS has developed and tested an electronic submission process designed to eliminate the volume of paper materials required for the traditional application submission.  Applicant agencies will now have the option to complete the entire application and documentation package in electronic format at no additional cost.   This format is designed to be user-friendly and is now available to all applicant and re-accrediting agencies.

Agencies may still submit applications using the traditional method if desired, however CAAS encourages all applicant and accredited agencies to submit electronically.  Interested agencies should contact CAAS for instructions and information on downloading the electronic submission materials.    For additional information on the paperless submission process, or to learn more about CAAS accreditation and how it can benefit your organization, please contact the CAAS office at 847-657-6828.
