Why should physicians own a sleep center?
- Provide better patient care by avoiding long delays getting your patients tested.
- Avoid the lack of communication and confusion between you, the sleep lab, and the patient. Who is making sure your patient is getting to their sleep test?
- Avoid the patient disconnect between the sleep lab and the DME. Make sure your patients are receiving the proper personal attention after their diagnosis.
- Avoid having your patients receive masks that do not fit and tubing that never gets replaced. Who is following the patient to insure therapy compliance?
- Better management of patient co morbidities associated with sleep apnea
