Abstract

I was surprised to be contacted last year by Linda Kelly to invite me to give the Kathleen Mears Memorial Lecture at the 2022 ASET meeting in Louisville, KY! I thought to myself, am I really that old or accomplished?! I did not initially think so; however, she felt my experience in telehealth would be of great education and benefit to ASET and the neurodiagnostic community, given the historic circumstances that occurred on March 11th, 2020. In case you forgot, that day changed everything. It was the day that the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that COVID-19 could be characterized as a pandemic (WHO 2020). Strangely, you may ask yourself, has it really been that long? Has it been over three years now that we remain in this pandemic? Yes! The reality is that what we lived and continue to endure is something out of a movie. We wore (and some continue to wear) N95 masks, dealt with toilet paper shortages, sweatpants living, and full-blown hospital and house lockups! Let me digress back to the importance of this article. I am truly humbled to be bestowed with the honor and privilege to present this lecture and write this article.

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.
