The AASM has made a minor update to the Standards for Accreditation to clarify that only diagnoses based upon the interpretation of a sleep study must be reviewed by an individual who is board-certified in sleep medicine (Standard F-8 of the Standards for Accreditation and Standard F-2 of the Independent Sleep Practice Standards for Accreditation).

The revised and updated Accreditation Reference Manual is the essential reference guide to help you develop a policy and procedures manual that conforms to the requirements of the updated 2016 AASM Standards for Accreditation.
