About This Position
Private Sleep Lab searching for Registered Sleep Technologists who are dedicated, hard-working, and demonstrate great teamwork to join our busy and growing Independent Diagnostic Testing Facility
Position Summary A sleep technologist works under the general supervision of the medical director or designee to provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment of sleep disorders including in-center testing, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, comprehensive patient care, and direct patient education. A sleep technologist is able to perform the duties defined for a sleep technician and is able to provide oversight of other sleep center staff. The sleep technologist is credentialed in sleep technology.
Sleep Study Preparation and Set-up
Collect, analyze and integrate patient information in order to identify and meet the patient-specific needs (physical/mental limitations, current emotional/physiological status regarding the testing procedure, pertinent medical/social history).
Determine final testing parameters/procedures in conjunction with the ordering physician or clinical director and laboratory protocols.
Review the patient’s history and verify the medical order.
Follow sleep center protocols related to the sleep study.
When a patient arrives, verify identification, collect documents and obtain consent for the study.
Explain the procedure and orient the patient for either in center sleep testing.
Select appropriate equipment and calibrate for testing to determine proper functioning and make adjustments, if necessary.
Apply electrodes and sensors according to accepted published standards.
Sleep Study Procedures
Follow procedural protocols [such as Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT), Maintenance of Wakefulness Test (MWT), parasomnia studies, PAP and oxygen titration, etc.] to ensure collection of appropriate data.
Perform appropriate physiological calibrations to ensure proper signals and make required adjustments.
Follow “lights out” procedures to establish and document baseline values (such as body position, oxyhemoglobin saturation, respiratory and heart rates, etc.).
Perform data acquisition while monitoring study-tracing quality to ensure signals are artifact-free. Identify, correct and document artifact.
Document routine observations and staging and marking of sleep stages and respiratory events, changes in procedure, and other significant events in order to facilitate scoring and interpretation of polysomnographic results.
Implement appropriate interventions (including actions necessary for patient safety and therapeutic intervention such as positive airway pressure, oxygen administration, etc.).
Follow “lights on” procedures to verify the integrity of collected data and complete the data collection process (e.g. repeat the physiological and instrument calibrations and instruct the patient on completing questionnaires, checking for completeness, etc.).
Demonstrate the knowledge and skills necessary to recognize and provide age specific care in the treatment, assessment, and education of pediatric, adolescent, adult, and geriatric patients.
Service Management and Essential Skills
Comply with applicable laws, regulations, guidelines, and standards regarding safety and infection control issues.
Perform routine equipment care and maintenance and inventory evaluation.
Maintain current CPR or BLS certification.
Demonstrate computer skills appropriate for the position.
Demonstrate effective written and verbal communication skills.
Demonstrate appropriate social skills.
Demonstrate customer service skills.
Demonstrate critical thinking and ability to work with minimal supervision.
Demonstrate teamwork skills.
Follow HIPAA policies to maintain the privacy and security of patient information.
Demonstrate ability to follow directions.
Respond to sleep patients’ procedural-related inquiries by providing appropriate information.
Provide patient education utilizing sleep center specific protocols.
Adhere to sleep center policies related to quality assurance.
