SLEEP 2012 Medical Conference in Boston, MA

National Sleep Therapy is honored to be an expert presenter at the Associated Professional Sleep Societies (APSS) SLEEP Medical Conference in Boston, Massachusetts from June 9-13, 2012. The SLEEP Medical Conference is the premier event each year for the sleep medical industry. It attracts more than 5,500 sleep medicine and sleep research professionals due to its comprehensive and in-depth coverage of the latest topics and issues in sleep medicine.

Last year National Sleep Therapy had a visible presence at the SLEEP 2011 conference in Minneapolis and many of the leading sleep physicians came by to discuss our ECOsystem of patient care and exchange ideas. We unveiled our research that showed the high success of our patients and demonstrated some of the new technologies that we rolled out to our patient community last summer.

This year we were invited to present our ECOsystem of patient care to the entire conference membership. This patient care model enables us to achieve an industry-leading compliance of 88% (as compared to the industry average of 50%) and aligns with ACO objectives and goals to substantially improve care and lower PMPM rates. We expect to attract hundreds of sleep physicians and researchers to our presentation by Dr. Ramesh Donepudi and our booth to learn about our ECOsystem and our proposal, to the Health Care Innovation Challenge, to expand the system to a vastly larger community of patients.

Our staff is excited to be participants in the conference as well as expect presenters. The rich conference program includes:

• A scientific program of more than 90 sessions including bench to bedside sessions, brown bag report of challenging cases, business- and patient-related clinical workshops, discussion groups, lunch debate sessions, meet the professor sessions, oral presentations and symposia.
• Two keynote addresses during the plenary session - From Bench to Planes, Trains and Automobiles: How Sleep Science Can Enhance Transportation Safety presented by Mark Rosekind, PhD and Sleep, Memory, and Dreams: Extracting the Meaning of Our Lives presented by Robert Stickgold, PhD.
• Nine experts (National Sleep Therapy being one) presenting one-hour lectures on topics from health care reform to OSA and diabetes mellitus to brainstem circuitry for arousals during sleep.

For National Sleep Therapy, the conference speakers and new technology demonstrations will be a prime opportunity for us get ideas for new trails to blaze in therapy delivery and patient care. We can't wait!
