4 Objectives During the course of this program you will: You will understand the current challenges sleep Technologists and sleep labs are facing. Examine how and where to shift areas of focus in treating patients with sleep disordered breathing issues. Learn about one model of care practiced at the Kaiser Permanente Fontana Sleep Center

5 State of Sleep In America million suffer from chronic sleep loss and sleep disorders 80 to 90% of remain unidentified and undiagnosed Primary Care physicians seldom ask patients about their sleep

33 Encounter Efficiency

34 Insomnia Background Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is effective in treating individuals with chronic insomnia, typically delivered in multiple sessions and individually (or small groups.) Our challenge is to deliver CBT cost efficiently given the high prevalence (30%) in the population. Edinger et al (Sleep 2007) revealed 1 session CBT protocol to be reasonably comparable in effectiveness to multi session CBT. Other studies (Espie, Sleep 2007) showed group format (4 6 persons) also effective. Kaiser Permanente (Fontana MC) 430K members (129K chronic insomnia) 1 Session CBT in Large Group Format

39 Outcomes

40 Impact of case management Improved adherence to non invasive ventilation from 10% to 90% Classroom format for insomnia CBT proven to be cost effective (89% subjective improvement; reduced insomnia medication fills; 25% reduction in primary care office visits 1 yr. after program) Primary care physician survey: 100% reported closed loop sleep program reduced time spent managing sleep disorders; 88% reported case management program improved care over physician (sleep or primary care physician) management.

41 Challenges Recruiting and training staff Quality Improvement Continuous education Integrating new technologies Rapid improvement model Patient traffic control

42 Summary Shift Sleep labs to Sleep centers Own your own: close looped process Move from tasks to care management Build skills to partner with patients
