The teleneurology program aims to provide patients with quick service in the event of head injury, stroke and other neurological issues.
Using video and audio technology, a Lisle, Ill.-based Amita Health on-call teleneurologist establishes a high-resolution video connection to perform a neurological examination on the patient and discuss any findings and treatment options with the hospital’s on-site clinical team.
The new virtual care services support Amita’s ability to provide neurological assessments 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The health system is a joint operating company formed by Altamonte Springs, Fla.-based AdventHealth and Ascension in St. Louis. Amita comprises 19 hospitals and more than 230 sites of care.
