 CT PSG Licensure / Registration

As mentioned at the dinner, the reasons for advocating polysomnography technician legislation would be:

• to define the field (statutory recognition)
• to define the educational requirements
• to define the competency testing

• Monday June 28th, the CTSS President met with the James Iacobellis from the Connecticut Hospital Association.
• A date has not yet been set for a meeting with the DPH, but is imminent.
• Wednesday July 7th the CTSS Legislative Committee is meeting at Middlesex Hospital to discuss PSG Act Language.
• August 2010 the CTSS will be meeting with the CTSRC to address concerns expressed with existing PSG Act Language.
