Abstract
PURPOSE: Long wait times for sleep evaluation in veterans has been suggested (AJRCCM 2004:169:668). In order to shorten wait times, alternative management (AM) strategies –screening pulseoximetry and automatic-positive airway pressure (APAP) therapy –have been performed (Chest 2006; 129:638). However, whether AM strategies improve access to care and save costs within the veterans healthcare system is unknown. Our objective was to determine whether an AM strategy for veterans with possible OSA can decrease wait times and costs compared to conventional management (CM).
