Abstract
The NeuroAnalyst role is relatively new with the NA-CLTM credential first becoming available in 2021. Many institutions express interest in utilizing this new role in neurodiagnostic departments, but there is a relative dearth of information about the benefits and challenges of developing a NeuroAnalyst role to support clinical neurophysiologists. The aim of this article is to share the positive experience of one institution in developing a team of NeuroAnalysts. The addition of the role can decrease EEG report turnaround time and balance the workload of clinical neurophysiologists, which improves patient care and allows physicians to increase productivity in other ways.
期刊介绍:
The Neurodiagnostic Journal is the official journal of ASET - The Neurodiagnostic Society. It serves as an educational resource for Neurodiagnostic professionals, a vehicle for introducing new techniques and innovative technologies in the field, patient safety and advocacy, and an avenue for sharing best practices within the Neurodiagnostic Technology profession. The journal features original articles about electroencephalography (EEG), evoked potentials (EP), intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM), nerve conduction (NC), polysomnography (PSG), autonomic testing, and long-term monitoring (LTM) in the intensive care (ICU) and epilepsy monitoring units (EMU). Subject matter also includes education, training, lab management, legislative and licensure needs, guidelines for standards of care, and the impact of our profession in healthcare and society. The journal seeks to foster ideas, commentary, and news from technologists, physicians, clinicians, managers/leaders, and professional organizations, and to introduce trends and the latest developments in the field of neurodiagnostics. Media reviews, case studies, ASET Annual Conference proceedings, review articles, and quizzes for ASET-CEUs are also published in The Neurodiagnostic Journal.
