A Consideration Regarding Testing Guidelines( A Consideration Regarding Testing Guidelines(Alberta At all levels a determination needs to be made as to who needs to be tested and how, and who performs the follow up. I think we can all agree that the process must also include an initial screening, a comprehensive assessment to determine who needs to be tested and how, the testing itself however that is determined to be done, then treatment considerations and follow up monitoring and care. Initial Screening: this can include but is not limited to issues such as loud snoring, witnessed apneas and daytime sleepiness. Comprehensive Assessment: this can include but is not limited to age, history of hypertension, controlled or uncontrolled, cardiac issues, congestive heart failure, pulmonary disease, smoking, COPD, tonsillectomy, family history of sleep apnea, medications, previous sleep testing or treatments, Stop Bang / ESS, BMI, suspected hypoventilation syndrome, UARS, dental conditions such as retrognathia, edentulism, periodontal health and compliance expectations. After the Initial Screening and Comprehensive Assessment, based on the above it will need to be determined if an In or Out of lab study is indicated according to established guidelines. After Testing and the Interpretation by a BoardCertified Sleep Physician a determination will be made for: A Referral back to a medical provider, PCP or Sleep Physician for a determination of care. Rx for a Self titrating AutoPap. Rx for a PAP Titration Study. Rx for a Mandibular Advancement Device. Other more definitive care such as a Cardiac, Pulmonary or other Medical Evaluation. Care Follow up and monitoring should be a shared collaborative responsibility between the patient s medical team and their dental team: The Dental Teams Responsibility is to fabricate, adjust and care for oral appliances if ordered by the physician. The Medical Teams Responsibility is to reach out to and utilize a dentist qualified in treating sleep for evaluations and requests for collaborative care by Rx. Both Medical and Dental providers need to proactively share records and information that is deemed to be in the patient s best interest. As many, if not all, of these considerations will have to be determined and negotiated within Standard of Care Guidelines, first between the representative organizations and then on a case by case basis between providers on the ground I have provided below two links one to Alberta s 2016 Draft Proposal and two to the adopted 2019 version. These can be viewed as a great starting point from which to build a program here in the states even though we have very different healthcare models.
