CPAP/Bi-LEVEL COMPLIANCE PROGRAM
Adherence to sleep therapy can have a great impact on a patient’s
quality of life. RMS has a professional staff to help patients overcome
the fears and anxiety of using their therapy for obstructive sleep apnea
(OSA). Mask selection, patient education and ongoing follow up all play
a crucial role in improved compliance and outcomes for patients needing
CPAP/BiLevel therapy. A patient’s compliance to therapy in the first few
weeks after initiating use is predictive of long-term compliance with
CPAP and Bi-Level treatment. Our sleep therapy compliance program
addresses these issues to ensure compliance to patient’s prescribed
therapy.
Patients

Patients
