Granting accreditation to a sleep

facility is based on its compliance with the Standards for Accreditation. Facilities that apply for AASM accreditation must undertake a facility review that takes a full year to complete. The accreditation process consists of four major steps: 1) Application, 2) Review of the application and site inspec-tion/evaluation. 3) Recommendation to accredit or not accredit.
4) Awarding of accreditation by AASM Board of Directors.

Accredited centers must maintain their accreditation through regular review by the AASM. The Accreditation Standards are continually revised and updated in order to ensure the highest quality of patient care in sleep facilities.
