How To Work With HSS

HSS Program Workflow:

1. Physician/Dentist recognizes or screens patient for symptoms consistent with obstructive sleep Apnea. HSS will provide a customized screening questionnaire for the Physician/Dental community.

2. Physician/Dentist sends an order to Home Sleep Solutions (HSS) for an ambulatory/Home sleep study —via FAX, Phone, or Portal.

3. HSS requests progress notes from physician/dentist’s office, plus insurance info and demographics. This information is entered into the portal and the documents are scanned into the Portal. HSS staff creates a patient chart in the portal, and the Sleep Doctor interprets the study.

4. HSS arranges and coordinates the patient a home sleep study providing face to face instruction at one of our service locations or if more convenient the drop shipped to their homes with a scheduled one on one instruction call. 

5. Patient fills out paperwork to guarantee safe keeping of the ambulatory device.

6. Patient wears Home Sleep testing (ambulatory) device overnight and returns the device to the local facility the following day (FedEx return if device is drop-shipped to patient).

7. Sleep technologist or HSS staff uploads the raw data onto a local secure FTP site.

8. The patient's raw data are analyzed by ambulatory software, and a scored report is generated.

9. Study is interpreted by Board Certified Sleep Physician and electronically signed.  Referring physician/dentists are notified of the completed interpretation.  The study results will be faxed or emailed to the physician/dentist or the physician/dentist may obtain results directly from our web based software program.

10. Referring physician/dentist is notified of the completed interpretation immediately by an email that is sent to the physician/dentist advising the completion of the interpretation report. The study may be faxed or emailed to the physician/dentist and/or the physician/dentist may obtain results from the portal.

11. The referring physician/dentist is notified that study is completed and that he/she should contact the patient to discuss their results and course of action.
