The Technology Special Report article discusses the challenges faced in maintaining patient follow-up, the need to track sleep patient outcomes and replenishment CPAP supplies. In 2005, Respira implemented medSage’s OSA Patient Management Application, which places automated calls or, starting this year, emails – inquiring about the patient’s compliance, any issues with therapy and notifying them of their eligibility for new supplies. Referral sources appreciate the outcome data and compliance information. This technology is a “crucial” business partner benefiting Respira, its patients, and their physicians.
