The University of Tennessee Medical Center’s Sleep Disorders Center in Knoxville recently received accreditation from
the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM). AASM accreditation is the gold standard by which the medical community and the public can evaluate sleep medicine services. The Standards for Accreditation ensure that sleep medicine providers display and maintain proficiency in areas such as testing procedures and policies, patient safety and follow-up, and physician and staff training.
"Sleep medicine is an exciting field of medicine and our goal at the sleep center is to provide outstanding patient care and AASM accreditation recognizes this goal," said Dr. Kevin Martinolich, Medical Director of the Sleep Disorders Center at UT Medical Center. "Accreditation is a reflection of the hard work and dedication by our staff members and physicians."
The UT Sleep Disorders Center offers medical evaluation to patients who are concerned about their sleep. The center provides comprehensive treatment and evaluation of unexplained problems with sleep that last over a significant time period. Disorders include sleep apnea, narcolepsy, restless leg syndrome, sleepwalking, nightmares and night terrors and insomnia.
The UT Sleep Disorders Center evaluates and treats the full spectrum of wake/sleep disorders that affect more than 70 million American’s annually. The Knoxville Sleep Lab has eight beds and performed 1,800 studies in 2011.
