The American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) develops evidence-based practice parameters that provide physicians with clear recommendations for the evaluation and management of patients with sleep disorders. These parameters are based on current scientific evidence in the medical literature.

The AASM develops these practice parameters according to the recommendations of the Agency for Healthcare Research Quality and the National Guideline Clearinghouse. The parameters are based on an exhaustive review of the scientific literature that is conducted by a task force of experts.

Both the review paper and the practice parameters undergo a peer-review process by outside reviewers before they are submitted to the AASM Board of Directors for approval. The approved review paper and practice parameters are published in the journal SLEEP. In some cases both papers are combined and published as a single report.

The AASM re-evaluates the practice parameters every three to five years and publishes updates when necessary.
