Advocate Condell Sleep Disorder Centers receive accreditation
Advocate Condell's Sleep Disorders Centers in Libertyville and Gurnee recently received program accreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).
“The American Academy of Sleep Medicine congratulates Advocate Condell's Sleep Disorders Centers on fulfilling the high standards required for receiving accreditation as a sleep disorders center,” said Dr. Nancy Collop, AASM president. “The Condell Sleep Disorders Centers are a significant resource to the local medical community and will provide academic and scientific value in addition to the highest quality care for patients suffering from sleep disorders.”
To receive a five-year accreditation, a sleep center must meet or exceed all standards for professional health care as designated by the AASM. The accreditation process involves detailed inspection of a center's facility and staff, including an evaluation of testing procedures, patient contacts, and physician training. Additionally, the facility's goals must be clearly stated and include plans for positively affecting the quality of medical care in the community it serves.
“We have had 25 year-long commitment to providing the highest level of service and quality of care,” said Dr. Adam Posner, Director of Advocate Condell's Sleep Disorder Centers, “and it is a great honor for this to have been recognized by the AASM.”
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine currently accredits more than 2,200 sleep medicine centers and laboratories across the country.
The Sleep Disorders Centers are located at Advocate Condell Hospital's campus and Advocate Condell Immediate Care Center in Gurnee (1445 Hunt Club Road).
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine is a professional medical society for clinicians, researchers, and other health care providers in the field of sleep medicine. As the national accrediting body for sleep disorders centers and labs, the AASM is dedicated to setting standards and promoting excellence in sleep medicine health care, education and research.
