Premier Sleep Medicine Center received
program accreditation from the American
Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM)
on November 7, 2003. In accreditation the center is a significant resource
to the local medical community and will provide academic and scientific
value in addition to the highest quality care for patients suffering
from sleep disorders.
To receive a five-year accreditation, a sleep center must meet or exceed
all standards for professional quality healthcare as designated by
the Academy. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine accreditation process
involves detailed inspection of a center’s facility and staff,
including an evaluation of testing procedures, patient contacts, and
physician training. Additionally, the facility’s goals must be
clearly stated and include plans for positively affecting the quality
of medical care in the community it serves. Currently, the American
Academy of Sleep Medicine accredits 678 sleep medicine centers and
laboratories across the country.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine is a professional membership
organization dedicated to assuring quality care for patients with
sleep disorders, promoting the advancement of sleep research, and
providing
public and professional education.
