Sleep Center Consultation
Workflow, Compliance & Transition Planning
Expert Guidance for Your Sleep Center
Running a sleep center requires more than quality equipment and skilled technicians. It takes efficient workflows, AASM compliance, trained staff, and strategic planning to deliver consistent patient outcomes while maintaining profitability. Our consultation services help you address all of these areas.
With over a decade of sleep lab management experience — including years overseeing day-to-day operations for a multi-bed sleep center — we bring practical, real-world expertise to every engagement. We don't just advise; we help implement solutions that work.
Workflow Optimization
Inefficient workflows cost sleep centers time and money. We assess your current operations from patient scheduling through final report delivery and identify bottlenecks, redundancies, and improvement opportunities.
Areas We Optimize
- Patient intake and scheduling processes
- Study setup and technician workflows
- Scoring turnaround and quality review processes
- Report generation and physician delivery
- Data management and file transfer protocols
- Inter-department communication and handoffs
The result: faster turnaround, fewer errors, and a smoother experience for your staff and patients.
Alice Platform Transition Planning
With Philips ending support for Alice 5 and 6 systems in January 2029, sleep centers need a transition strategy now. Waiting until end-of-service risks disruption to patient care and forced, rushed purchasing decisions.
Our Alice transition consulting helps you develop a phased plan that protects your current investment while preparing for the future.
Transition Planning Includes
- Assessment of your current Alice infrastructure and remaining lifespan
- Evaluation of alternative platforms (Natus, Compumedics, Cadwell, and others)
- Cost-benefit analysis for repair vs. replace decisions
- Phased migration timeline aligned with your budget cycle
- Data migration planning and testing
- Staff retraining schedule for new platform adoption
- Scoring continuity planning during the transition

Staff Training & Education
Your team's competence directly impacts scoring accuracy, patient experience, and compliance. We provide targeted training programs for sleep lab technicians, scorers, and administrative staff.
Scoring Training
AASM scoring criteria, event identification, staging rules, and common pitfalls that affect inter-scorer reliability.
Equipment Training
Alice platform operation, troubleshooting, headbox setup, and signal quality optimization for technicians.
Compliance Training
AASM accreditation requirements, documentation standards, and quality metrics your staff needs to maintain.
PAP Therapy Education
Patient education techniques, mask fitting best practices, and compliance review processes for PAP therapy programs.
AASM Compliance Review
Maintaining AASM accreditation requires ongoing attention to scoring standards, documentation, equipment calibration, and operational procedures. We perform comprehensive compliance audits that identify gaps before they become problems.
Our Review Covers
- Scoring accuracy and inter-scorer reliability assessment
- Documentation and record-keeping compliance
- Equipment calibration and maintenance records
- Staff credential verification and continuing education tracking
- Patient safety protocols and emergency procedures
- Quality improvement program effectiveness
After the review, you receive a detailed report with findings, priority rankings, and actionable recommendations for every identified issue.

Opening a new sleep center or adding beds to an existing facility? We provide end-to-end setup consulting that covers every aspect of getting your lab operational.
- Equipment selection and procurement guidance
- Lab layout and room design recommendations
- Software configuration and network setup
- Staff hiring guidance and role definition
- Workflow design and standard operating procedures
