[Role of a health network dedicated to patient care for sleep disorders].
The Réseau Morphée is a health network funded by the Regional Health Commission (Mission Régionale de Santé d'Ile-de-France). Its mission is to improve the management of sleep disorders via actions for the public, patients and health professionals. For patients suffering from sleep apnea, the network improves access to care and organises education and support groups for patients treated by Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) in order to improve compliance. Health professionals can optimise patient care using an Internet based computerised consultation system which automatically incorporates sleep recording and CPAP reports. The expertise of the Morphée medical team is on hand at all times to help in the management of complex patients and expert advice from other members of the network is shared during regular patient management meetings. The réseau Morphée is certified as a continuing medical education (FMC) and clinical practice accreditation (EPP) organisation and so active members can validate both their FMC and EPP.
