LungHealth’s Sleep Evaluation Approach

The delivery of high-quality care and associated healthcare outcomes, in any healthcare system, is entirely dependent upon the implementation of clinical guidelines.

There are effectively two aspects in relation to the delivery of evidenced based guidelines:

• The creation of the guidelines themselves

• The implementation of the guidelines

LungHealth is focusing their support around the implementation of the guidelines and that is the purpose of our Computer Guided Consultation (CGC) for Sleep. LungHealth has created a product that assists specialist and non-specialist healthcare professionals to deliver a full and thorough guideline level review, for all patients referred for investigation and management of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA).

In addition to the above, in the area of sleep medicine, there can also be considerable waiting times to see a consultant, in some instances up to two years, hence an ‘alternative pathway’ needs to be explored if patients are to be managed effectively, receive treatment in a timely manner and if specialist resource is to be utilised effectively in those areas where it is needed most.
