REDUCE PATIENT RISK

Besides the health factors affected by sleep apnea, your patients undergoing surgical and medical procedures with sedation are at greater risk for adverse events. Learn and teach your team to identify your ‘at risk’ sleep apnea patients. SAM’s program will provide a clinical standard for reducing risk for your sleep apnea patients, allowing you to provide safer patient care. Millions of Americans have sleep apnea. Currently, most are unrecognized prior to surgery and other sedated procedures.

REDUCE MEDICAL LIABILITY

Implementing SAM’s sleep apnea monitoring program for surgical and medical procedure patients will reduce adverse events. Reducing these increases patient safety, reduces your medical liability and reduces your insurance risk with diagnosed or undiagnosed sleep apnea patients.

CREATE A REVENUE STREAM

Besides the benefit of improved patient safety, you can create an additional revenue stream within your medical setting by providing a sleep apnea disease management treatment program. Typically, your preoperative and procedure areas are cost centers, and by adding SAM’s sleep apnea monitoring program you can create additional cash flow by reducing adverse costs and increasing new revenue contribution to margin. SAM can show you how.

SAM’s Program consists of five steps:

1. Screening for ‘high risk’ or known OSA.

2. Physician Communication and Patient Preparation if high risk or known OSA.

3. PACU or post-surgery procedure, assessment and monitoring.

4. OSA Patient Disposition, Discharge, and Referral.

5. Follow-Up OSA Treatment and Disease Management
