Frequently Asked Questions

Essential information about our new service-based accreditation model

Why is AASM providing a new standard of service?

In the field of sleep medicine, we are seeing a trend where larger hospitals and physician groups are managing multiple clinics and labs, creating complex health systems. At the same time, smaller sleep practices are using technology to expand their reach without relying on physical infrastructure as much. This has led to the emergence of diverse practice models.

To adapt to this evolving landscape, the AASM is adjusting its accreditation program to accommodate a wider range of practice models within the field of sleep medicine. These changes streamline the accreditation process by allowing facilities to customize their accreditation to meet their specific practice model requirements.  

We use the framework when applying for accreditation because a sleep program can offer various services. For example, a Sleep Clinic may provide clinical services (patient management) and diagnostic services (in-lab testing and home testing). Additionally, a program may offer DME services. Our new model groups these associated services under an Accreditation Network. The Accreditation Network can then add more individual services as needed, as long as the minimum program type requirements are met. 

The changes to the new accreditation model were based on feedback from payors, members, and our accredited programs. These adjustments simplify fees, provide flexibility to add services as needed and improve the accreditation experience by allowing compliance data for staff and policies to be easily shared across the network.

Accreditation Networks, which consist of a single accredited program, will have the flexibility to add additional services easily. Networks with multiple accredited programs will undergo an improved accreditation process tailored to meet their needs

Examples of when applying for the HSAT Diagnostic service is optional include if the network is only adding an In-Lab service location to an existing network or for a location that only serves pediatric patients and does not need an HSAT Diagnostic service location.
