The Board of Directors of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) commissioned a Task Force to develop quality measures as part of its strategic plan to promote high quality patient-centered care. Among many potential dimensions of quality, the AASM requested Workgroups to develop outcome and process measures to aid in evaluating the quality of care of five common sleep disorders: restless legs syndrome, insomnia, narcolepsy, obstructive sleep apnea in adults, and obstructive sleep apnea in children. This paper describes the rationale, background, general methods development, and considerations in implementation for these sleep disorder quality measures. The Workgroup papers are published in this issue under the following titles: Quality Measures for the Care of Adult Patients with Restless Legs Syndrome, Quality Measures for the Care of Patients with Insomnia, Quality Measures for the Care of Patients with Narcolepsy, Quality Measures for the Care of Adult Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and Quality Measures for the Care of Pediatric Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea.
美国睡眠医学学会（AASM）董事会委托一个特别工作组制定质量指标，作为其促进以患者为中心的高质量护理战略计划的一部分。在众多潜在的质量维度中，AASM要求各工作组制定结果指标和过程指标，以帮助评估五种常见睡眠障碍的护理质量：不安腿综合征、失眠症、发作性睡病、成人阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停和儿童阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停。本文介绍了这些睡眠障碍质量指标的基本原理、背景、一般方法开发以及实施中的注意事项。各工作组的论文在本期以以下标题发表：《成人不安腿综合征患者护理质量指标》、《失眠症患者护理质量指标》、《发作性睡病患者护理质量指标》、《成人阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者护理质量指标》和《儿童阻塞性睡眠呼吸暂停患者护理质量指标》。
