Several barriers may hinder the effective implementation and scale-up of the recommendations in this guideline. These factors may be related to the behaviours of patients (or families), the behavior of healthcare professionals, the organization of care, health service delivery or financial arrangements.

Obstacles to effective implementation include:

➡️ Patient engagement

➡️ Collaboration; person centered, team-based collaboration between clinician, sleep specialists, pulmonologists, otolaryngologists, dentists, and others involved in care delivery

➡️ Management changes: information, guidance and support delivered easily and consistently can help assess sustained management changes.
