JODI JACKS HOME SLEEP TESTING MADE EASY I n a previous article Frances Romero shared how you can IDENTIFY patients at risk for a sleep breathing disorder right in your waiting room. So you took her advice, and now you have patients acknowledging their po- tential problem and ready to say “YES TO THE TEST.” 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 consum- ing. 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. Effec- tiveness and efficiency are key, and this helps you achieve those goals. • Patients get tested in the com- fort of their own homes. In many instances, patients are downright OPPOSED to go to the sleep lab for a PSG and depend- ing on their insurance, an HST may be required. Even if you’re already ordering HST’s or dis- pensing 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 re- view the results, etc. • Costs you NOTHING. No pur- chase cost, disposables, interp fess. • Report & key data points are uploaded directly into your DS3 System by the HST providers. • Results at your fingertips. This process makes moving your patients through the SCREEN- TEST-TREAT-BILL continuum that much easier.
