CLAY — St. Joseph’s Hospital Janus Park Sleep Laboratory in Clay recently received program accreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).
“The American Academy of Sleep Medicine congratulates St. Joseph’s Hospital Janus Park Sleep Laboratory on meeting the high standards required for receiving accreditation as a sleep disorders center,” Dr. Nathaniel Watson, AASM president, said in a news release that St. Joseph’s issued July 27. ”St. Joseph’s Sleep Laboratory is an important 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 accreditation for a five-year period, a sleep center must meet or exceed all standards for professional health care as designated by the AASM. These standards address core areas such as personnel, facility and equipment, policies and procedures, data acquisition, patient care, and quality assurance. Additionally, the sleep center’s goals must be clearly stated and include plans for positively affecting the quality of medical care in the community it serves, the release stated.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine says it started accrediting sleep disorders centers in 1977. Today, there are more than 2,500 AASM-accredited sleep centers across the United States.
St. Joseph’s Hospital Janus Park Sleep Laboratory is part of St. Joseph’s Health, a nonprofit regional health-care system based in Syracuse, providing services to patients throughout Central New York and northern Pennsylvania.
