ACHC accreditation offers a
collaborative approach designed to
help providers increase business
efficiencies while enhancing the
quality of patient care. The costeffective compliance solution
allows providers to demonstrate
a commitment to delivering the
highest quality of patient care by
complying with the most stringent
national standards and industry
best practices.

AADSM Dental Sleep Medicine
Facility Accreditation solidifies
dental sleep medicine
professionals as instrumental to
the sleep medicine team, assuring
patients, sleep physicians, and
reimbursement decision-makers
of the facilities’ dedication to highquality care. AADSM Dental Sleep
Medicine Facility Accreditation
positions dental practices to
strengthen relationships with
sleep physicians, increase
patient referrals, maximize office
efficiency, and more easily make
decisions on how to navigate
medical insurance.

The AASM offers high-quality, sleepspecific accreditation. As a result of
the continuous AASM Standards for
Accreditation advancements, AASM
Accreditation is highly regarded as the
gold standard by which the medical
community and the public evaluate sleep
medicine facilities. The AASM recognizes
your need for assistance through the
entire accreditation process and provides
distinct features and tools to guide your
facility. AASM features and tools include:
dedicated staff, reference manuals with
sample policies and procedures, and
many additional AASM products and
services that will assist your facility with
Accreditation Standards compliance.

Central to The Compliance Team’s
Exemplary Provider accreditation
program for Sleep Care Management
is a 360-degree review of a
participant’s everyday business
operations covering patient-care
procedures, employee training, sleep
study protocols, equipment usage and
maintenance, as well as universal
best practices.

relevant tips for improving methods
of care. 3. Customer service.
