FRANCES ROMERO HOME SLEEP TESTING IS A CLICK AWAY! I n last month’s article, I shared how you can IDENTIFY patients at risk for a sleep breathing disorder right in your waiting room. So you took my advice, and now you have patients acknowledging their potential problem and ready to say “YES TO THE TEST.” In many instances, patients are downright OPPOSED to go to the sleep lab for a PSG and depending on their insurance, an HST may be required. Even if you’re already ordering HST’s or dispensing them yourself, what does this entail? Your team has to be trained, you have to purchase the unit and disposables, find a board-certified sleep doc to review the results, etc. If you’re working with a 3rd party to deliver HST’s, is there a form to complete? Do you fax it? What do you do with the results? It can be daunting and time consuming. All of this while the patient awaits to be checked out at the front desk. What if you could order an HST with the single CLICK of a button right from your patient’s chart? Well, DS3 MEMBERS CAN. Effectiveness and efficiency are key, and this helps you achieve those goals. This process makes moving your patients through the SCREENTEST-TREAT-BILL continuum that much easier. Contact me to show you how to begin using this powerful tool TODAY. • Patients get tested in the comfort of their own homes. • Costs you NOTHING. No purchase cost, disposables, interp fess. • Report & key data points are uploaded directly into your DS3 System by the HST providers. • Results at your fingertips.
