BACKGROUND:

a. The VA Portland Health Care System (VAPORHCS) is seeking a contract for Home Sleep Apnea Testing. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and the VA Prioritization for Expanding Outpatient Consultations, Procedures, and Appointments recommend use of completely disposable home sleep testing. VAPORHCS does not currently own any completely disposable devices. VAPORHCS anticipates continued and increased emphasis for home sleep apnea testing as we transition clinical programs involving greater use of alternatives to face-to-face medicine. The pertinent excerpt of the referenced communication is below:

“Non-urgent pulmonary/sleep procedures should be deferred to minimize unnecessary risk to patients. These include, but are not limited to pulmonary function testing, 6-minute walk tests, methacholine challenge testing, surveillance bronchoscopy, in-person pulmonary rehabilitation, lung cancer screening, and polysomnography. Providers should consider empiric treatments and alternative diagnostic modalities that do not require in-person visits (e.g., HSAT) while these procedures are deferred.”

b. To assist as we shift to alternatives to high-bandwidth, face-to-face care with limited staff, the contractor shall provide VAPORHCS as ordered, direct to home disposable HSAT to our Veteran population through a mail order service. The contractor shall prepare the ordered/requested HSAT kit per the instructions of the sleep provider and then ship it to the patient. The contractor shall provide phone service to support the Veteran in the use of the HSAT kit on the scheduled test day to review test instructions. After the patient completes the HSAT in their own home, the data from the device is uploaded to a VA approved cloud-based platform for interpretation by VA providers.
