How It All Started
CPAPbuilder.com was the idea of CressCare Medical. Todd Cressler, President of CressCare Medical, has been a DMETRAIN® customer since 2003. During a visit to the Pennsylvania Association of Medical Suppliers, Todd shared his success with growing his sleep therapy management program.
"Aggressively pursuing the sleep medicine market in our area has lead to tremendous growth and profit for us."
- Todd Cressler, CressCare Medical
With industry reimbursement cuts impacting so many providers, Todd wanted to share how his company was growing and thriving in a difficult business environment. Over the course of a year, requirements and features were designed and implemented to create a system that brought CressCare's successful high-growth program to the Internet.
A History of Ingenuity
Taking tough problems and finding creative and seemingly simple solutions is nothing new for Aspirant Education, Inc. The company's first venture into solving the problems of HME providers was DMETRAIN.com, now the industry leader in education.
Aspirant Education's CEO, Robert Thompson, was frustrated with conventional industry practices for training employees, e.g., watching videos and using informal on-the-job training. The company set out to build a learning system that elevated training and accountability to a new level and at the same time decreased costs and improved efficiencies.
DMETRAIN.com® was the first learning management system that was designed for the HME industry and is the only one built around the way companies do business. Through consistently building value and simplicity into educating employees, today 30,000 HME professionals are trained in over 350 distinct topics.
Improving on a Great Product
Every company is different, yet the products marketed to them assume that they are all identical. No where is this more evident than in the sale of policy and procedure manuals for organizations undergoing accreditation. In preparation for a Joint Commission accreditation in 1996, Robert purchased a generic policy and procedure manual sold on a CD. The manual was a great place to start in the accreditation process, but it still required 6 months of editing before the finished product matched organization processes.
Conquering the Next Problem
Using lessons learned and technologies developed from the creation of DMETRAIN and POPMANUAL.com, Aspirant Education's entry into solving poor patient compliance and weak communication between providers, patients, physicians and sleep labs should once again change for the better the way that the HME industry conducts business.
A privately held corporation with customers in all 50 states, and Canada, Aspirant Education, Inc. creates products that simplify the burdens of HME providers.
