The Remote Veterans Apnea Management Platform (REVAMP) App consists of a Patient Platform and a Clinician Platform. With the REVAMP App for Clinicians, as a sleep clinician, you will be able to set up patient accounts, schedule patients for sleep testing and enter their results, review patient Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) machine data, assign questionnaires, schedule appointments, write Treatment notes, and correspond with patients. Additionally, if you are an authorized user, you will also have the ability to create and manage educational material on sleep apnea and automated messages for patients.

In order to use the REVAMP App for Clinicians, you must be a Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provider and be logged into the Single Sign-On Internal (SSOi) service. To log on with SSOi, you must select your credential service provider (CSP) and authenticate to that service. Available methods are PIV authentication, VA Active Directory (username / password) authentication and Integrated Windows Authentication. More information can be found on the AccessVA website.

The app has four main features, which include:

• Treatment Results – Review the data from your patient’s PAP machine including the time they sent it, their Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) and mask leakage.
• Sleep Testing & Questionnaires – Assign questionnaires to your patients to help with their treatment.
• Education – Create and publish educational pages for Veterans to view. (Super Administrators only)
• Messages – Send and receive secure messages between you, your patients and other members of the VA sleep care team.

There are two ways to view registered patients. From anywhere in the REVAMP App for Clinicians, tap Home in the top left corner of the screen. The Home screen will display all active registered patients. To see inactive patients, tap the checkbox next to ‘Show Inactive’ and inactive patients will be included in the list. You can also tap Management, and a drop-down menu will appear. Tap Case Management, and you will be taken to the Case Management screen, where you can select Show All Data (No Filter) from the Filter dropdown and tap Select to see a list of all active patients registered in your location. Tap the radio button next to All Patients, On PAP Treatment or Not On PAP Treatment to view only those on or off PAP treatment. Tap the checkbox next to Show Inactive to include inactive patients. A list of all patients registered at your location matching your filters will appear. Next to your patient's name, you will see a table of patient data.

You may customize the columns you are viewing on the Case Management screen by tapping the three-line icon next to the number of patients you are viewing on the right side of the screen. Tap the box to place a check-mark next to the fields you want to see in the table.

Currently, REVAMP supports the registration of Philips and ResMed PAP machines, with plans to include other manufacturers in the future. To register a patient’s PAP machine, first, navigate to the Patient Summary screen of the Veteran you would like to view. From anywhere in the Patient Summary, tap Demographics on the Treatment Tree on the left. The Patient Demographics will appear on the right side of the screen. Tap the PAP Machine tab, and type in the Serial Number of the PAP machine. Tap the radio button next to the Type of Unit: APAP (Automatic Positive Airway Pressure), BPAP (Bilevel Positive Airway Pressure), CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) or ASV (Adaptive Servo Ventilation), and fill out the field(s) in the PAP Pressure Range section. Tap the Manufacturer bar, and select Philips or ResMed. To save, either tap the floppy disk icon, or tap File and then Save.

For Super Admins, Site Admins and Provider users to schedule visits for patients and assign clinical questionnaires, use the Events tab on the Patient Summary screen. To start this process, begin by looking up the patient by name or by the last name initial and last four numbers of the patient’s SSN (see the Looking Up a Patient section for instructions on how to look up a patient), or select the patient from the Home screen or Case Management screen (see the Case Management Screen section for instructions on how to access the Case Management screen). From the Patient Record, tap Summary on the Treatment Tree. Tap the Events tab. The items in the Event column represent steps in the REVAMP treatment pathway, from Account Setup (when the patient is registered to REVAMP) to PAP Data (when the patient’s PAP device begins sending data to REVAMP) to clinical follow-up visits. For each event you will see four columns: Scheduled Date, Performed Date, Status and Comments.

NOTE: When the scheduled date for an event has passed and there is no performed date, the event is considered overdue. Overdue events are highlighted pink and have a red caution sign in the Event column.

To control the specific questionnaires assigned to the patient for Follow-up Questionnaires events, tap the + icon next to the follow up questionnaire you want to edit and tap the box next to the questionnaire to include or remove it. To save, either tap the floppy disk icon, or tap File and then Save.

Tap the PAP Data tab.

With the REVAMP App for Clinicians you can view several types of sleep apnea related patient data.

• Treatment Adherence – Shows the total number of hours that the patient used the PAP device each night. Bars are colored red if they are below the 4-hour minimum and green if they are at or above the minimum. You may hover over a bar in the graph to see a tooltip with the date and value of the bar.
• PAP Patterns of Use – Shows a 24-hour display of the actual times that the patient used the PAP device each day or night. The bars are colored red if the total number of hours for the date was below the 4-hour minimum and green if it was above the 4-hour minimum. You may hover over a bar in the graph to see a tooltip with the date and value of the bar.
• Apnea-Hypopnea Index – Shows the patient's average AHI each day or night he or she used the device. Bars are colored green if they are below the 10-events-per-hour threshold and red if they are at or above it. You may hover over a bar in the graph to see a tooltip with the date and value of the bar.
• Apnea Event Types – Shows stacked bars that add up to the patient's total AHI for each day or night that he or she used the device. The segments of the bars represent the different apnea types: Unknown Apnea Index (grey), Clear Apnea Index (Light Blue), Hypopnea Index (Purple), and Obstructive Apnea Index (Dark Blue). You may click on any of these types in the graph legend to show or hide the segments of that type in the graph.
• Mask Leak – Shows the patient's average mask leak in liters per minute each day or night that he or she used the device. A threshold line is shown at 24 L/min.
