Abstract
Advocacy should be thought of as a permanent part of recognition efforts during Neurodiagnostic Week (April 16-22, 2023) for Neurodiagnostic professionals. It is the perfect opportunity to engage in advocacy and educate others on the importance of using well qualified Neurodiagnostic Technologists to perform neurodiagnostic procedures. Why is advocacy important? Because there is strength in numbers and constituent voices matter. If Neurodiagnostic Technologists do not advocate for the profession and educate decision makers, legislators, and the public about the importance of professional competency in Neurodiagnostics, no one else will. Advocacy works and is a critical part of moving the profession forward to ensure that lawmakers and policy understand that those performing the procedures should be the best qualified professionals to do so.
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.
