DARIEN, Ill. – The American Academy of Sleep Medicine has launched a clinical registry for sleep medicine to streamline data collection and reporting. The AASM Sleep Clinical Data Registry (Sleep CDR) will support quality improvement efforts, collection of patient-reported outcomes data and benchmarking. It will also facilitate participation in national quality reporting programs, such as the merit-based Incentive Payment System administered by CMS. “The AASM’s clinical data registry will help drive high-quality care in sleep medicine,” said Dr. Kannan Ramar, AASM president. “Sleep CDR allows the sleep team at accredited sleep centers to track meaningful data, increase quality-based reimbursements, and evaluate performance against other providers to identify opportunities to improve patient care.” Data entry and reporting in Sleep CDR is currently free for AASM facility members and individual members in AASM-accredited sleep centers. There is a $250 fee for MIPS submissions.
