Clinical Sleep Medicine and Laboratory Management: Fundamentals of Sleep Technology has two primary aims. The first is to discuss sleep disorders, behavioural science topics as they apply to sleep technology, and other therapies for which a sleep technologist can collaborate with a sleep physician. The second is to explicate the business and managerial aspects of a sleep laboratory, with a view towards sleep technologists contributing to the continuation of patient services without profit concerns. These are two equally necessary areas of running a sleep laboratory, but too often one is overlooked in favor of the other. Specifically, Clinical Sleep Medicine and Laboratory Management: Fundamentals of Sleep Technology offers sleep laboratory managers information on indispensable topics such as minimum standards for a sleep laboratory, infection control practices in the sleep laboratory, electrical safety in the sleep laboratory, advocacy for the importance of sleep and sleep disorders, and financial management of the sleep laboratory. There has yet to be a book which fully encapsulates both the clinical aspects of a sleep laboratory, as well as the duty of keeping that laboratory fiscally sound and operational. This is that book.
