About Our Practice

Accreditation is the process a sleep program voluntarily undergoes to demonstrate that it has met all of the requirements developed by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).  AASM accreditation is the gold standard for sleep programs and sets high standards that translate into quality patient care.  The requirements are continuously reviewed and updated to ensure that the latest advances in sleep medicine are incorporated into patient evaluation and treatment planning.

Some of the AASM requirements and objectives include:

*  Clean, comfortable patient environment where dignity and safety are upheld.

*  Highest quality of care maintained at all times, through adherence to evidence based practice parameters.

*  Assurance of a knowledgeable, trained staff.

*  Requirement of the presence of a Diplomate of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (board certification) reviewing all studies conducted at the facility.

*  Education in the local medical and lay communities about sleep and sleep disorders.

AASM accreditation reflects quality and excellence in sleep disorders medicine and is recognized nationally by patients and physicians.  For more information on the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, visit their website at www.aasmnet.org.
