Standards for Accreditation - Sleep

Standards for AccreditationUpdated November 20162 The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) developed Standards for Accreditation with the primary purpose of ensuring that the highest quality of care is delivered to patients with Sleep disorders. The constant evolution of Sleep medicine necessitates an update to the AASM Standards for Accreditation to reflect the models of clinical practice that have emerged in recent years. New research, policy and technology are shifting the field toward comprehensive patient management. Accreditation of entities that offer diagnostic testing and comprehensive management for Sleep disorders is increasingly important as care focuses on improving population health and engaging patients while containing costs. As such, comprehensive Sleep facilities must have the capability to provide patient management and testing related to all Sleep disorders. Sleep facility is used specifically to refer to Sleep centers that comprise both a clinic, where patient evaluation and management occurs, and a laboratory, where diagnostic testing is administered through in-center Sleep studies and home Sleep apnea testing (HSAT).
