Step 4:
Start therapy
CPAP success starts with you
While HMEs manage equipment setup and education, you play a critical role in guiding patients through their therapy journey and supporting treatment success.
Simple tips for patient support
Starting therapy
Help patients feel prepared by addressing common questions and providing them with basic information about PAP therapy. This helps build their confidence and trust from the outset.
Providing guidance and ongoing care
Schedule a follow-up visit within the first 30-90 days of starting therapy to address concerns and help ensure adherence to the treatment plan.
Encouraging compliance
Reinforce the importance of staying consistent with therapy, especially during the first 90 days, and encourage long-term adherence to maximize results.
Empowering patients
Connect patients with support communities, educational materials, and resources that enable them to thrive in their therapy.
