  • Barriers in the Sleep Patient Journey: A Patient Perspective (A32014)
    Contains 1 Component(s), Includes Credits Includes a Live In-Person Event on 10/15/2025 at 9:00 AM (CDT)

    Barriers in the Sleep Patient Journey: A Patient Perspective (A32014)

    Key Talking Points:

    Title of Talk: “Barriers in the Sleep Patient Journey: A Patient Perspective”

    Speaker: Sarah Wahhab, RPSGT – Director of Clinical Outreach, Advanced Sleep Management

    Summary: Sleep disorders affect millions of Americans, yet patients face long waits, confusing referral pathways, and inconsistent education. In this engaging session, Sarah Wahhab, a nationally recognized sleep medicine leader with over 20 years of experience, explores how to break down these barriers and transform the patient journey from delayed and fragmented to efficient and patient-centered.

    Key Learning Points:

    • Why sleep health is foundational to overall well-being and how delayed care worsens outcomes.
    • The importance of educating both providers and patients about local sleep resources and referral pathways.
    • How specialist shortages and fragmented systems extend wait times—and what can be done now to ease the bottleneck.
    • How empowering providers to initiate testing can shorten time to treatment and improve adherence.
    • Why a well-built sleep program with fast, clear communication dramatically increases patient follow-through.
    • How DMEs can be partners rather than barriers by providing timely setups and meaningful patient education.

     

    Takeaways for the Audience: Participants will leave with practical strategies to streamline referrals, strengthen collaboration between stakeholders, and improve patient outcomes—ultimately elevating the perception and impact of sleep medicine in their communities.

    Ideal Audience: Healthcare providers, sleep technologists, program administrators, primary care teams, and anyone involved in patient referrals or care coordination within sleep medicine.
