Main Methods:

  • A pilot project was conducted to provide sleep medicine services within a primary care environment.
  • Primary care providers were actively involved in the decision-making processes related to patient care.

Main Results:

  • The integration of sleep medicine services into primary care was found to be feasible.
  • Involvement of PCPs in decision-making led to enhanced satisfaction with the provided sleep medicine services.

Conclusions:
