EDITORIAL
Advancing Access, Accuracy and Outcomes in Sleep Health
Sleep health is gaining long-overdue attention as healthcare providers recognize its influence on long-term health, emotional well-being and daily functioning. As awareness grows, demand is rising for diagnostic solutions that are timely, reliable and centered on patient needs.
Technology is reshaping how these diagnostics services are delivered. Innovations in home-based testing, remote monitoring and digital diagnostics are allowing care to move beyond the traditional sleep lab model. They are improving access, shortening diagnostic timelines and enabling earlier identification of conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea, while data-driven platforms strengthen accuracy and clinical confidence. Digital reporting, automated analysis and seamless connectivity with electronic health records are simplifying clinical workflows and supporting smoother transitions from diagnosis to treatment.
This edition of Healthcare Business Review examines diagnostic sleep testing service providers delivering meaningful value across clinical and operational settings. It also explores how innovation, regulatory readiness and scalable service models are shaping the next phase of sleep diagnostics.
The edition features thought leadership from industry experts including Paula Schmidt, MSN, MBA, RN NEA-BC, chief nursing officer at Froedtert Hospital, who highlights the role of human-centered leadership in building trust and resilient team foundations. Dr. Carlos Sandoval-Herrera, director of gynecology and chief of the division of minimally invasive gynecology at Sinai Chicago, urges eliminating surgical opioids through ERAS and minimally invasive techniques to improve safety and recovery.
The edition also highlights innovators such as Comprehensive Sleep Medicine Associates, PA led by Dr. Jerald H. Simmons, whose personalized and technology-enabled approach is redefining standards in sleep medicine.
We hope this edition offers meaningful insight and a clear view of the innovations shaping the future of diagnostic sleep testing services.
