New Manual Puts Sleep Lab Issues To Bed.
by Anonymous

Danville, WV --- SLEEPING: On The Job!, a technical resource manual that breaks the mold of medical handbooks. Written in plain English, the manual is directed at the physician, medical professional or Homecare Company interested in the technical aspects of sleep diagnostics. Highlighted by a sample policy and procedure manual, Mr. Belcher's book reviews the processes of site selection, AASM guidelines, lab structure, staffing and more in an easy-reading, simple format. While not a step-by-step approach to designing and operating a lab, the book is intended to give the uninitiated or non-medical individual a good foundation of knowledge concerning sleep lab operation and setup. The book also includes many resources and contact information for companies offering everything from computerized sleep systems to chart folders and computer parts.

The 165-page manual offers the reader a wealth of information, resources and references in the field of sleep diagnostics. The format is executed so that the manual is easy to read by both the physician and the businessman.

The manual offers:
-A 74-page sample policy/procedure manual

-Contact information for major equipment and supply manufacturers

-Hints and tips about getting things prepared for AASM accreditation

-Ideas for policies, QA and other concerns

-A small 5.5" x 8.5" coil binding that allows the manual to lay flat when open.

Mr. Belcher's idea of answering the most frequently asked questions coupled with an insightful look at the most common policies and procedures necessary in a sleep diagnostics lab has come full circle within the pages of this book. Medical professionals interested in what it takes to design, implement and equip a sleep diagnostics program can get a better look at the manual on Mr. Belcher's website (http://www.sleepguides.com), which also offers contact and ordering information.

The price of the manual, including shipping and tax (within the US) is $60.00
