This presentation outlines how TDSS Providers can proactively facilitate VA Community Care referrals for Veterans with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), focusing on oral appliance therapy (OAT). It emphasizes empowering Veterans to advocate for care, coordinating with VA Community Care offices, and using VA Form 10-10172 to streamline referrals. The strategy prioritizes Community Generated Leads (CGLs) over System Generated Leads (SGLs) through community engagement, effective screening, and meticulous follow-up. Goals include improving Veteran access to OAT, reducing VA system burden, and supporting DSM practice growth.
