How many years does the American Academy of Sleep Medicine grant laboratory accreditation for?

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) grants laboratory accreditation for a period of five years. This duration is established to ensure that accredited sleep laboratories maintain high-quality standards for patient care and meet specific operational requirements over time. During this five-year period, laboratories are expected to continually provide quality services and adhere to evolving guidelines and standards set by the AASM. After this timeframe, laboratories must undergo a re-accreditation process to verify that they still comply with the necessary criteria for providing safe and effective sleep medicine practices. This re-accreditation process is crucial for ensuring ongoing compliance and quality improvement in the field of sleep medicine.
