Step #1
The Sleep Evaluation & Consultation can be obtained to evaluate and manage
the potential sleep disorder, or a sleep study may be ordered directly by the referring physician.
Indications will be evaluated to ensure that the appropriate study is performed.
Step #2
The patient sleeps overnight in the sleep center. The patient is monitored
by our sleep technicians, and the data received is compiled into a report.
Dependent on the results of the first sleep study, a second study will be ordered if needed.
Step #3
A comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan is completed that includes both
the diagnostic and therapeutic components. The center will facilitate the entire process to ensure
that the patient is set up with the appropriate equipment if required. The referring physican is notified of
all the findings and treatment recommendations.
Step #4
To assure optimal outcomes, the patient's progress is monitored through
the course of treatment by the sleep center's patient core coordination team. This includes
coordination of care with the referring physician, the medical equipment company (if appropriate), the patient,
and any other care providers.
