People who attempt to gain access into the healthcare system who feel they are at risk have to overcome many obstacles in order to complete the entire process from risk assessment, diagnosis and treatment, to obtaining their equipment and ongoing fulfillment with 24/7 customer service, at least initially during the first 90-days of treatment. Currently a few organizations have attempted to loosely organize healthcare providers into an affiliate network which promote “Sleep Awareness”, but none have been successful or have come up with a solution for integration between the Sleep Labs, HME companies and Primary Care Physicians while providing system for tracking each patient’s compliance.
SleepWell America.com believes that by working with and promoting sleep awareness on behalf of
Sleep Labs through direct to consumer, the Sleep Labs can rely on a steady stream of new patient candidates coming in for study. SleepWell America.com will establish this network of
local Sleep Labs within each demographic market region so that an integrated team approach is established. This will free up additional resources to be used for local, regional and national ad campaigns for sleep awareness.
The result will be more Americans becoming aware of SDB / OSA through SleepWell America.com and identifying its network of Physicians, Sleep Labs
nationwide through the website or the 1-800 number which will connect the consumer with a SleepWell America.com’s call center.
The patients win because they are more aware of their potential life threatening condition and can make more informed decisions about their healthcare needs. The Physicians win because they have a centralized system their patients will use which takes away the burden of coordinating and educating the patient by their staff. The Sleep Labs win because they are seeing more patients for sleep studies
and
can now enjoy a new revenue stream by dispensing CPAP from their lab, plus they
now have a patient compliance monitoring program through our AfterCare program
that can also increase patent re-testing.
