The ACCP-SI will serve as a center of excellence, merging all programs and resources into a central organizational unit and provide the ACCP an opportunity to become a strong voice in the future of sleep medicine.
Vision
The ACCP-Sleep Institute is a premier resource for excellence in sleep health.
Mission
To promote sleep health and the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of sleep disorders through leadership, education, research, and communication
The initial goals of the SI include the following:
- Increase awareness of sleep medicine issues within the ACCP membership through internal needs assessment
- Develop new sleep-related educational offerings
- Partner with other societies and patient advocacy groups to raise public awareness about sleep disorders
- Align Sleep Institute projects and products with the overall mission of the ACCP
Moving Forward
The ACCP- SI portfolio of activities is growing rapidly. The development of special projects will highlight the sometimes neglected areas in the specialty, such as consensus conferences, educational awarness campaign for the primary care community, clinical guideline development and other ways of working with commercial organizations to ensure appropriate follow-up care for the patient. One final point: we have started the Sleep Institute, not the Sleep Apnea Institute. We view the entire field of sleep medicine as appropriate for our attention, not just the issues traditionally related to respiratory disease. |
