AASMF Grand Rounds: Clinical implementation of a program to improve PAP treatment of sleep disordered breathing among Veterans
Description
This grand rounds series will feature AASM Foundation-funded work related to improving patient care and sleep health awareness. Learners should attend the seminar series to understand practice and sleep health gaps, and how the AASM Foundation-funded work addressed those gaps through project findings. Objectives of the presentations will be to disseminate knowledge, potentially change practitioner behavior, and improve patient outcomes.
Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
  1. Explain the rationale for implementation of an educational program as part of routine clinical care for older individuals who are novice positive airway pressure (PAP) users
  2. Understand the impact of a PAP education program on PAP use metrics
  3. Describe patient-identified barriers and facilitators of PAP use
