Scheduling a follow-up consultation ensures that your care plan stays on track and that any questions or concerns are addressed promptly.
Why a Follow-Up Consultation Matters
A follow-up visit helps your clinician:
- Review your progress and any sleep diary or device usage data you’ve recorded.
- Adjust therapy settings or mask fit based on your feedback.
- Answer new questions that may have arisen since your initial visit.
- Reinforce lifestyle recommendations and next steps.
By keeping these appointments, you maximize the effectiveness of your sleep therapy and catch potential issues early.
Choosing the Right Time Slot
When selecting a follow-up appointment:
- Pick a date at least 7–14 days after your device setup or last consultation, giving you enough time to gather meaningful data.
- Consider your daily routine—choose a time when you are least rushed and can focus fully on the consultation.
- Allow extra travel or setup time if you’re joining via video call, ensuring you log in a few minutes early.
Preparing for Your Appointment
To make the most of your follow-up:
- Compile any sleep logs, device usage reports, or symptom notes since your last visit.
- Write down any new or persistent concerns—leaks, discomfort, dry mouth, or unusual data spikes.
- Have your device and mask on hand in case you need to demonstrate fit or show parts.
Using Calendar Invites & Reminders
Maintain your schedule by:
- Accepting the calendar invite and setting automatic reminders 24 hours and 1 hour before the appointment.
- Syncing the invite with your phone or desktop calendar to avoid double-booking.
- Adding a short note in the event description about topics you want to cover.
Confirming & Adjusting as Needed
If your availability changes:
- Reschedule at least 48 hours in advance when possible to let the clinician offer the slot to another patient.
- Choose a new time that keeps at least a week between visits for meaningful data collection.
Frequent cancellations or last-minute changes can delay your treatment progress, so plan ahead whenever you can.
Maximizing the Consultation
During the follow-up:
- Be honest about what’s working and what isn’t—small leaks or discomfort can often be fixed with minor tweaks.
- Ask for clarification on any data trends you don’t understand.
- Confirm next steps and whether you should return for another follow-up or continue with self-monitoring.
By actively participating and scheduling your follow-up thoughtfully, you’ll keep your therapy on course and achieve better sleep health outcomes.
