The “Oklahoma Sleep Diagnostic Testing Regulation Act” (Senate Bill 810) was recently signed into law, stating that there is a growing need for sleep diagnostic testing in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders. The Accreditation Commission for Health Care Inc (ACHC) was recognized as an accrediting body that sleep diagnostic testing facilities can use in order to meet the new standards set forth in the bill, information from ACHC stated.

Approved for DMEPOS accreditation by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, ACHC recently launched a new sleep lab accreditation program that was created specifically for freestanding and hospital-based sleep labs and includes the clinical aspect of patient care focusing on the testing of a patient.
