Salem Regional Medical Center, SRMC, recently announced its Sleep Center has earned the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Ambulatory Health Care Accreditation by demonstrating compliance with the commission’s nationally recognized guidelines for safe and effective patient care.

To achieve this certification, SRMC’s Sleep Center underwent a rigorous, unannounced on-site survey. During the review, a commission expert determined the center met or exceeded quality standards related to a variety of areas, including the coordination of patient care; procedure monitoring; infection prevention and control; medication management; and patient education and training.

SRMC’s Sleep Center offers diagnostic studies and treatment recommendations for a wide range of sleep-related conditions, including sleep apnea, insomnia, periodic leg movements, restless legs syndrome, narcolepsy and snoring. Sleep studies may be scheduled with a physician’s referral.

Preventing sleep related infant deaths

COLUMBUS

The number of Ohio infants who died before their first birthday increased from 1,005 in 2015 to 1,024 in 2016, according to a recent report released by the Ohio Department of Health.

The report also contains some promising news with fewer sleep-related infant deaths than in 2015.

Ohio’s focus on preventing sleep-related infant deaths through public awareness campaigns and programs to provide free cribs to eligible parents is making some headway. In 2016, there were 22 percent fewer sleep-related infant deaths than in 2015.

Nine metropolitan areas accounted for 59 percent of all infant deaths, and 86 percent of African-American infant deaths, in Ohio in 2016: Butler Co., Cleveland/Cuyahoga County, Columbus/Franklin County, Cincinnati/Hamilton County, Toledo/Lucas County, Youngstown/Mahoning County, Dayton/Montgomery County, Canton/Stark County, and Akron/Summit County. In these communities, local infant mortality coalitions are pursuing promising practices to reduce infant mortality supported by state and federal funding.
