ResMedica Interview w/Dr Clifford Massie, Director of Sleep Health in Illinois
LOVE this quote from the interview!!!
Does information and data effectively support patients?
“Absolutely! We download the data on computer and we show them the printout, and that helps
patients. It’s direct feedback about what’s going on so they can see if they are doing well or if there
are problems or variability.We find that invaluable.”
So you mean when a patient sees the download it’s a positive reinforcement or an opportunity to
explain the problems and troubleshoot?
“Exactly.”

And then there is ResMedica's interview with Dianne Richards, a nurse/sleep psychologist.
How do you define compliance?
Acceptance and adherence are much better words than compliance. They reflect a collaborative approach to patient
care rather than an authoritarian approach. The patient is very much a part of the team and treatment uptake is shared.
Do you use any data downloads to assist in determining adherence?
I do use the data download facility. It enhances the information I have uncovered from the patient, and it can often be
encouraging for the patient to see the hard copy of graphs and data.
What graphs/data do you find patients respond to most?
Time in bed with the mask on the face is always of interest to the patient. I find evidence of leak to be most beneficial.
It draws the patient’s attention back to the importance of checking the mask and equipment before going off to bed.
Sometimes it’s as simple as failure to put the mask on properly that is a causal factor of poor results.

A ResMedica excerpt from their interview w/Dr Carole Philippe of Paris
At home
In the home, it is important to have a good home-care provider who offers good patient follow-up. It is necessary to make
sure of the efficiency of the treatment particularly in relation to mask leak, residual AHI and to detect any other conditions
that may arise, including complex sleep apnea.
