Sleep
Technology Institute (STI) has provided management
services and technical
support for sleep disorder centers since 1996.
Services include the turn-key development of new
start up locations with the provision of all necessary
equipment, staffing, and education to enable a
center to perform and treat patients. The development
of each center is designed to meet the standards
and competencies set by the American Academy of
Sleep Medicine (AASM). STI is a leader in the
development of quality polysomnographic technologists
to perform all testing provided in the sleep disorder
center. Each turn-key partner receives all necessary
support to operate a sleep center successfully.
Policies
and procedure manuals are provided to ensure appropriate
practice parameters and guidelines for services
performed in the sleep center.
STI
is a proactive company addressing the latest developments
in technology and standards of practice. One example
is the commitment in the development of a centralized
processing center. This further creates efficiencies
in operations and significant improvements in
turn-around time of data to a same day level.
STI has developed a network of VPN servers and
hardware to address HIPAA standards in the transfer
of data and the flexibility to work with many
existing IT department protocols at hospitals
and freestanding locations. The networking also
allows us to provide the first national service
of real-time technical support. Utilizing our
extensive network, customers are able to access
on call RPSGT's 24/7 with technical difficulties
during data acquisition.
The
on-call technicians can access the remote location
through a secure encrypted connection, view the
data in real-time remotely (including digital
video), take over the remote computer, and provide
solutions and/or suggestions as the study is being
recorded. Referring physicians are able to securely
access the sleep center from their homes and/or
offices to view the data on-line in real time.
Polysomnography
education is a high priority to STI. All staff
provided by STI performing sleep studies has undergone
appropriate training and competency development.
The training provided to our technologists compliments
abilities necessary to perform the procedures
necessary in a sleep center and to work independently.
Physician support for interpretive services are
accessible. Our medical sleep experts are available
to interpret sleep studies and make recommendations
for appropriate treatments. These services can
be tailored to assist in the development of a
physician building the skills necessary to interpret
their own data.
Record
scoring is provided as a service to our turn-key
customers. The studies are transferred to our
centralized center and scored same day, next day,
or second day accordingly. All records are scored
by registered polysomnographic technologists with
years of experience in the field. Once records
are scored, the data is then sent back electronically
(through a secure encrypted connection) to the
remote center and can be sent directly to the
interpreting physician for review/interpretation.
The reports can then be printed directly on your
printer without any intervention.
