Medical Sleep Study Consent Form

A medical sleep study (polysomnography) is a non-invasive overnight procedure used to diagnose sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, insomnia, restless leg syndrome, and narcolepsy. This Medical Sleep Study Consent Form template is designed for sleep centers, hospitals, and pulmonology practices that need to obtain informed consent from patients before conducting overnight diagnostic testing.

Sleep studies involve attaching multiple sensors and monitoring devices to track brain activity, eye movement, heart rate, oxygen levels, breathing patterns, and body movements throughout the night. Because the procedure requires overnight monitoring, equipment attachment, and potential CPAP therapy trials, obtaining clear, comprehensive consent is essential for both patient safety and regulatory compliance.

This Paperform template streamlines the consent process by walking patients through all aspects of the sleep study procedure—from preparation instructions and equipment details to privacy considerations and financial responsibility. The form uses conditional logic to show relevant sections based on whether the patient will participate in a CPAP trial, ensuring each individual receives only the information they need.

Perfect for healthcare providers including:

• Sleep medicine centers and laboratories
• Hospital sleep disorder clinics
• Pulmonology and respiratory therapy practices
• Neurology practices treating sleep disorders
• ENT specialists conducting sleep apnea evaluations

The form collects essential patient information, medical history relevant to sleep studies, emergency contacts, and clear acknowledgment of risks and benefits. Built-in signature fields allow patients to provide their consent electronically, creating a legally valid record that integrates seamlessly with your practice management system.

With Paperform's healthcare-friendly features, you can embed this consent form on your patient portal, send it via secure link before appointments, or use it on tablets in your waiting room. All submissions are encrypted and can be configured to meet your data security requirements.

For practices looking to further automate their intake workflow, you can connect this form to Stepper to automatically trigger appointment confirmations, send pre-study instructions, update your EHR system, or notify clinical staff when a new consent is received. If you need patients to sign additional documents after submission, Papersign lets you generate and send legally binding agreements based on form responses, keeping your entire consent workflow connected and compliant.
