TALK ABOUT SLEEP WITH PATIENTS

TEST AT HOME OR IN LAB
Get the clinical data needed for accurate diagnosis
Of the over 1 billion adults estimated to have obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), ~80% remain undiagnosed1-3, leaving them without the help they need. Testing via a home sleep apnea test (HSAT) or in-lab polysomnography (PSG) is an essential step in getting people with OSA the help they need. Qualified providers may order HSATs through an independent diagnostic testing facility (IDTF) that offers virtual care and testing services with board certified sleep specialists.

It has been shown to improve clinical outcomes and to reduce healthcare resource utilization, improve productivity and mitigate long-term risk in high-cost comorbid populations.4 Let our PAP therapy template streamline prescribing for you.
