ER WAIT
iThrough a partnership with the nation’s leading multispecialty telemedicine group, providers at NPMC can connect with board-certified neurologists via secure, high-resolution technology in minutes. Onsite nurses, healthcare providers, and other physicians have access to the highest level of teleNeurology consultation to respond quickly to patients experiencing a stroke. They can also treat patients with epilepsy, severe headaches, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological conditions.
How it works
When a patient enters the hospital needing the immediate services of a neurologist, NPMC can connect remotely via a two-way camera and monitor for assessment and diagnosis of the entire spectrum of neurological conditions. Board-certified teleNeurologists provide immediate acute stroke consultative services, as well as management of other non-stroke emergencies. The non-emergent team provides routine neuroHospitalist consultative services and ensures appropriate follow up evaluations with continuity of care in the inpatient setting.
TelePsychiatry and teleStroke services are also available through our ER. Learn about all of our TeleServices.
