The primary aim of the study is to determine if, compared to standard care provided at a VA Sleep Center, the deployment of a structured adherence management program and a web-based information program designed for participants beginning positive airway pressure therapy results in a greater portion of participants meeting CMS adherence requirements (use > 4hrs on >=70% of nights) at 90 days.~Secondary aims:~Results in higher nightly use of therapy (hours per night and % of nights with at least 4 hours of use) at 90 days~Results in participant satisfaction that is superior to current standard care~Offers operational efficiencies or economic benefits to the health care facility (reduced staff time (sleep clinic and physician), equipment consumption, unplanned participant contacts or visits, and reduced overtime)~Results in indirect benefits to participants (fewer clinic visits, less travel or in-clinic/ office visit waiting time)
The study is a prospective, randomized, controlled trial studying adherence to positive airway pressure therapy in a population referred to the VA system for the treatment of sleep disordered breathing. The primary aim of the study is to determine if, compared to standard care provided at a VA Sleep Center, the deployment of a structured adherence management program and a web-based information program designed for participants beginning positive airway pressure therapy results in a greater portion of participants meeting Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) adherence requirements (use > 4 hours for >= 70% of days) at 90 days.
