Good Shepherd Health Care System (GSHCS) announced that its Good Shepherd Sleep Solutions in Hermiston has received program accreditation from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM).
“The American Academy of Sleep Medicine congratulates Good Shepherd Sleep Solutions on meeting the high standards required to earn accreditation as a sleep disorders center,” said Dr. Raman Malhotra, AASM president. “Good Shepherd Sleep Solutions 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 and maintain 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 communities it serves.
The American Academy of Sleep Medicine accredited a sleep disorders center for the first time in 1977. Today there are more than 2,600 AASM-accredited sleep centers across the country.
Good Shepherd Sleep Solutions is directed by Jakdej Nikomborirak, MD, FAASM, and is located at 610 NW 11th St., Suite E-19 in Hermiston. To schedule an appointment, call 541-667-3834.
