Press Release regarding
importance of sleep medicine testing
The recent news of
the sudden death of a 25-year old man during a routine overnight
polysomnogram at the Emory Sleep Laboratory is a clear tragedy. It
certainly evokes compassion for his family and requires further medical
inquiry, as in any case of sudden death. Also, we should take away from
this situation a better understanding of sleep medicine, and why we
perform sleep tests in the first place.
According to the
National Sleep Foundation, over 18 million Americans are currently on
therapy for sleep apnea alone, and estimates suggest that another 120
million may have sleep apnea and not know it.

Governor Perdue Signs Legislation Into Law on
Tuesday, May 12, 2009
Governor Sonny Perdue announced that HB509 was
signed into law today, May 12, 2009.
Legislation to revise the Medical Practice Act, HB 509, passed the Senate
and House and was sent to the Governor for his signature on April 15. HB
509 includes language that exempts anyone performing polysomnography acts
under the supervision of a physician from the necessity of licensure. The
language was drafted by the Governor's Counsel and is meant as a temporary
fix to the problem that was identified by the Attorney General with
delegation of these acts to an unlicensed healthcare professional. They
will need to come back in a future session of the legislature to pass a
licensure bill for the profession. (SEE ARTICLE 6)
This will preserve the status quo in the job market until there is enough
time to pass a well thought out and properly vetted licensure bill.
To view the full version of HB 509, you can visit the GA Legislature
website at http://www.legis.state.ga.us/ and
plug the appropriate bill number in the upper right hand corner of the
home page (HB ___).
