IN BRIEF
The Butler Sleep Disorders Centers have been accredited and passed an inspection by two national organizations.
The sleep lab in Pullman Square Business Park passed an inspection by doctors and board members of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).
The lab has also been accredited by Medicare and the state Department of Health.
The academy evaluation process began more than a year ago with the medical, technical and administrative staffs of the sleep lab evaluated on performing and reporting on a patient receiving a sleep study. Many aspects of a sleep study were reviewed including patient testing, confidentiality, infection control, equipment function, results reporting, procedures, and test interpretation.
The Butler Sleep Disorders Centers business is one of the only pediatric sleep labs in the region. The four offices are in Butler, Kittanning, Clarion and White Oak.
