Abstract
In their article in Sleep and Breathing, Surani and colleagues describe a sleep laboratory questionnaire implemented as a quality assurance instrument to provide standardized feedback to the sleep lab technologist. The authors accurately identify the lack of recognized standardized mechanisms to provide feedback to the sleep technologist with the goal of improving upon the quality of care being provided in the sleep laboratory setting. This is an area of importance, in particular, given the burgeoning growth in the number of sleep centers and therefore attendant sleep studies being performed. There are currently no standardized means of assessing the technologist-related performance of sleep study data acquisition that has been put forth by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. By the same token, global technologist performance quality measures are not formally incorporated or mandated in the sleep laboratory accreditation process.
