For decades, the diagnostic pathway for a patient with suspected obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has followed a predictable sequence. The patient gets tested in a sleep lab overnight, a technician scores the data, and the patient receives an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) score that quantifies how often they stopped breathing per hour of sleep.

However, in healthcare, the blind pursuit of revenue can cause real harm. Although a revenue number tells you that a transaction happened, it does not tell you whether the patient was appropriate for the service, whether the care plan was clinically sound, whether the patient stayed in treatment long enough to benefit or even whether the business is building trust or quietly eroding it. If the transaction and outcome…
