At Aeris Consulting & Management, LLC, we provide high quality sleep apnea consulting for prisons and correctional facilities across the nation. Our staff specializes in full service respiratory and sleep care. We provide staffing of respiratory therapists, educational programs for your staff, and the latest in respiratory technology. Aeris is committed to the finest quality care and reducing your health care expenses.

Treating sleep apnea cases is necessary not just to improve inmates’ sleep and breathing, but also to help avoid the onset of other diseases, which would increase an inmate’s health care usage costs. In 95% of suspected obstructive sleep apnea cases, a patient can be diagnosed and treated within the facility. Furthermore, as inmates age, a correctional facility might see an increasing number of them using CPAP machines and oxygen concentrators.

Why Outsource Your Sleep Apnea Consulting?

With so many correctional facilities operating on limited budgets, it’s easy to place medical equipment and staff needs on a lower priority. Sleep apnea problems, especially among older inmates, can become a much more serious concern, and it’s important to make sure that facilities have sufficient equipment and staffing, and that they can adjust to increasing or decreasing needs without full time staff.

Aeris offers an in-house solution that can save your facility thousands over transporting an inmate to another facility. Our testing program can reduce your risks and liability, as well as the turnaround time from diagnosis to treatment. We work within your budget to provide for your facilities’ needs. We also work to ensure that there is sufficient staff to handle health issues without additional costs.

All The Equipment, Training, and Staffing You Need.

Aeris offers a wide range of educational programs, RT staffing and technology to clients throughout the country. As specialists in the provision and management of all components used in the practice of respiratory care, we provide your facility with an “unbranded” respiratory care team designed to meet your facilities goals.

Our goal is to provide our partners with practical and cost-effective solutions while improving quality and outcomes. We want to seamlessly integrate with your facility, creating a strong respiratory care service line.

When you choose Aeris for a sleep apnea consulting study, we provide you with testing devices that are simple to use, with full instructions and 24/7 support. We offer cost effective CPAP, Auto-CPAP, and BiPAP devices, masks, tubing and other additional supplies. We also do it from a central location to save on costs.

We’ll ship you the study equipment, and our board certified sleep physician will interpret the results once you ship the devices back to us. We’ll take care to quickly provide the results of your study to address an inmate’s sleep apnea problems.

We also can send a respiratory or sleep therapist to your facility to help with setting up necessary testing equipment or manage a monthly sleep apnea clinic, saving you the cost and expenses of adding full time staff.

If you regularly follow stories related to nursing facilities and care, you may have seen our own Ed Frost featured in Skilled Nursing News. If not, you can read this informative article here.

Ed Frost Speaks About The Potential of PDPM

The piece is focused on the increased potential for profitable care in the era of the Patient-Driven Payment Model (PDPM). The author of the article, industry expert Alex Spanko, spoke with both Ed Frost of Aeris Consulting and Melissa Sabo of Gravity Healthcare Consulting, regarding PDPM and what it means for skilled nursing facilities.

As detailed in the article, more complex respiratory therapy for sicker patients is becoming a key revenue source for facilities. As Frost points out, “Skilled nursing facilities over the past several years, and this has really amped up in the past five years, are being forced to take sicker and sicker and sicker patients — especially with many areas of the country losing their long-term acute care hospitals.”

Frost added that “There’s very little access to higher levels of care, intermediary levels of care, and they really have been forced to take sicker and sicker folks.” He noted that with PDPM, nursing homes will now receive credit for admitting sicker patients that require higher levels of care.

Frost also emphasized that it’s not necessarily a fee-for-service play…with a timely intervention from a respiratory therapist, a nursing home operator can help to prevent return trips to the hospital for patients. Cardio pulmonary problems are a very common source of hospital readmissions.

The piece took note of the potential for growth in skilled nursing facilities as a result of decreased readmissions. A skilled respiratory therapy facility can save on the high costs of hospital readmissions, which has a positive impact on a facility’s reputation. As Frost pointed out, “Readmission rates start to go down, their marketability starts to improve. Amongst patients and family members, when they’re in the facility, confidence levels increase.”

With the increased potential for earnings for respiratory care through PDPM, skilled nursing facilities should seek a consulting service that can help guide them through the coming changes and stay profitable in the future. Be sure to read the article with Ed Frost featured in Skilled Nursing News to find out more, and how respiratory therapy providers can provide a strong return on investment through PDPM.

Frost has been a Registered Respiratory Therapist since 1992. In addition to managing successful long term and acute care respiratory care programs, Mr. Frost served on the faculty at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and Independence University in California. He has served as the National Director of Operations for 23 sleep related breathing disorder clinics across the country, and as the Mid-West Director of Sales and Marketing for the 3rd largest independent education company in the United States.
