Sleep
SLEEP PROVIDERS had to tackle tough learning curves throughout the COVID-19 public health emergency. When it comes to the public health emergency, providers of sleep therapy equipment and services have had to ascend a
steep learning curve to reshape how they safely and effectively provide products and services, and they have had to innovate new workflows and use new tools to get there.
But then sleep therapy has always been the place where the rubber meets the road when it comes to big HME industry trends. We’ve seen this with several trends, such as the interplay of technology and therapy, remote patient monitoring, coordinating with multiple funding sources, and outcomes-oriented healthcare.
In any case, there’s been one constant throughout all these trends: product innovation. Thanks to a steady stream of new products and updates, sleep providers have been able to conform with the limitations of the public health emergency has placed on them, while still increasing their ability to help patients stay compliant with their care.
And that doesn’t stop at just the PAP therapy devices or masks. Many products, such as accessories and cleaners make compliance easier for patients and help them take control of their therapy. Moreover, there are a variety of product and service offerings available to help sleep therapy providers run more efficient businesses and help their referral partners on-board patients and ensure optimal outcomes. Here are some of the latest offerings available. — By David Kopf
