Establishing Effective Interprofessional Care Pathways for Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Despite obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) being a source of significant morbidity and mortality, it is underdiagnosed and undertreated. Poor patient outcomes stem from inadequate and/or inconsistent screening in high-risk patients, a dearth of sleep specialists to effectively manage all patients, and poor collaboration amongst disciplines to evaluate and manage patients. And while CPAP remains the standard of care for patients with OSA, it is insufficient for a sizeable number of patients and not tolerated by patients with high-risk comorbidities.

Are you equipped to:
• Recognize typical and atypical presentations of OSA?
• Conduct effective screenings for your patients at high risk?
• Select and interpret the best sleep test for a patient?
• Provide a timely referral for a formative diagnosis to ensure optimal management?
• Coordinate and manage care for your patients with OSA?

Developed by experts specializing in sleep management, this dynamic online slide library allows you to choose topics that are most relevant to your clinical setting and customize an educational activity to improve the quality of care you provide to your patients with OSA. It's time to help your patients get the quality sleep they deserve and reduce the potential for complications!
