CPAP Outcome Score (COS), Our New Sleep Measurement

Sleep therapy compliance is the key to improving your health and your life. National Sleep Therapy is developing a new and easy method to assess the efficacy of CPAP therapy in a way that is relevant to patient outcome and lifestyle improvement. We are calling the new method CPAP Outcome Score or COS. We believe success should be measured by more than the isolated metric of usage hours.

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 week National Sleep Therapy submitted a 70-page proposal to the Centers for Medicare as part of the CMS Healthcare Innovation Challenge. The proposal detailed its plans for substantially expanding its current ECOsystem of patient care that empowers patients and more seamlessly brings together the patient, physician, and CPAP provider.
