1
Con Iber Fairview Health Systems University of Minnesota Health The Future of Sleep Health
2
Objectives To identify opportunities in transitioning from sleep medicine to sleep health To propose a snapshot of the future of the field To identify methods of transforming ourselves into what the future requires of us
3
Caveat There will be unanswered questions that we must all solve together
4
Harry: “OK……where’s the map?”
5
Harry, don’t check the map while your driving!! Where should we go and how should we get there?
6
Let’s get a higher altitude view
7
Health care cost/quality gaps History of perverse incentives Technical innovation Public accountability Pressures for Change
8
OECD Health data 2012
9
Unreasonable practice variation
10
Sutherland, Skinner, Fisher. NEJM 2009; 366:1227
11
AHA Trendwatch Chartbook 2011 2011 2021
12
Medical economics July 2013
13
What are the opportunities for merging sleep medicine into sleep health? More adaptable to changing models diagnosis at home decreased reliance on complex testing increased utilization of evolving therapies More honest- shift work/insufficient sleep preventative methods are more powerful better alignment with driving forces
14
11.8 million Insufficient sleep and shift work: 49 million Behavioral Genetic Countermeasures Shift workInsufficient sleep 37 million
15
What are the opportunities for transitioning from sleep medicine into sleep health? More diversified- meets need for distributive model population/employee based flexibility of cross-training workforce More integrated – case finding->diagnosis->therapy population management
16
Home Sleep Studies [example of forced change] 2012 HomePAP N=373 randomized 2014 Health System N=4625 uncontrolled doi: 10.1155/2014/418246 doi: 10.5665/sleep.1870
17
Dental devices [example of change to be forced] Gap- underutilization of devices in the US Drivers- user preference guideline changes payer preference
18
Snapshot of the future
19
Where do we want to go? Change that will improve sleep health Quality and cost optimization Adaptable to predictable forces User satisfaction
20
Distribute care and maintain continuity Incorporate population management Develop and integrate collaborative networks Negotiate change consensus Leverage technology Strategies-high altitude
21
Reduce variation Virtual care Sleep therapy management Cross discipline collaboration Payer negotiation Stratified resource use Cross-training workforce Tactics-zoom lens [adopt new lexicon]
22
Sleep Therapy Management
23
Structural changes: reduce points of care and variation, expand comprehensive care, develop stem to stern pathways, partner, tune to outcomes Behavioral changes: team concept, monitor progress to achievable/meaningful goals, anticipate and manage failure, expand scope of practices Components of Change
24
Are we are here?
25
“Single visit”: initial diagnostic procedure for uncomplicated sleep apnea and insomnia moved to primary care with therapy determination made by sleep center and virtualization of >50% of point of care followup visits. Consolidation of laboratory studies to verify ambiguous home studies, serious comorbidities, parasomnias, suspected seizures.
26
Increased scope of onsite clinic operations to include partners in dental, otolaryngology, pediatric, and occupational sleep medicine. Population management to incorporate long term management, innovation, outcome monitoring, payer negotiation.
