The primary mission of the
Sleep Reading Center
(SRC)
is to partner with research teams to
ensure that the highest quality sleep data are collected, analyzed
and reported in order to advance the understanding of sleep and
health.
Since 1994, the
SRC
has led all aspects of
sleep data acquisition and processing for numerous large-scale
observational studies and clinical trials for both adult and pediatric
study populations. The
SRC
was the first major research PSG center
supporting large studies funded by the National Institutes of Health.
During the last 23 years, our team has developed rigorous approaches
for obtaining, processing, and scoring of polysomnograms in
multi-center studies; implemented methods for training, certification,
and quality improvement to achieve highly standardized, accurate, and
reliable data collection across multiple sites; and assisted with the
development of sophisticated informatics platforms to support
multi-site clinical research. As our portfolio of services has
expanded, we have successfully applied these approaches to our other
service offerings.
