Maintain monthly scoring accuracy of at least 80% compared to the Medical Director or the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) Inter-Scorer Reliability (ISR) gold standard.
Oversee the quality of sleep testing performed throughout the Center for Sleep Health by monitoring study quality, providing feedback, and collaborating on Quality Assurance Data Worksheets in accordance with AASM practice parameters.

Assist in developing and implementing departmental policies, procedures, guest relations initiatives, and operational programs.
Partner with the Center for Sleep Health Director to assess educational needs and develop orientation, training, and continuing education programs for sleep technologists, including monthly Inter-Scorer Reliability testing.
Mentor and onboard new employees while providing hands-on training, competency assessments, and test preparation for trainees and non-credentialed staff.
Support laboratory operations through inventory management, supply ordering, environment of care rounds, and other operational responsibilities.
Perform basic troubleshooting of sleep equipment and computer systems while assisting with repair coordination and documentation.
Conduct and document monthly infection control inspections, safety rounds, and "Clean Sweep" inspections to ensure equipment calibration, functionality, and regulatory compliance.
Maintain documentation related to equipment issues, repairs, inspections, and incident reports.
Adjust workflow as needed to support quality assurance activities and changing departmental priorities.
Champion quality improvement initiatives while promoting patient safety, staff engagement, and an inclusive, respectful work environment.
Deliver age-appropriate, patient-centered care that addresses each patient's physical, psychosocial, educational, and safety needs.
Provide exceptional customer service by treating patients, families, physicians, visitors, and colleagues with professionalism, courtesy, and respect.
Maintain knowledge of applicable regulations, accreditation standards, Corporate Compliance requirements, the Code of Conduct, and organizational policies while participating in required compliance education and activities.
What You'll Bring (Minimum Qualifications)
