The Growing Challenge of Neurology Shortages at Hospitals

​

As populations expand, hospitals across the globe are confronted with a critical shortage of specialist physicians, particularly neurologists. This deficit is particularly acute in neurology, where the ratio of neurologists to patients is significantly lower than in other specialties. This imbalance poses a serious threat to patient care, especially for those suffering from time-sensitive conditions like stroke. Due to the scarcity of neurologists, stroke victims often experience delayed or even absent treatment, leading to poorer outcomes.

Addressing the Need for Timely Neurology Care

​

To counteract this growing challenge, many hospitals struggle to secure adequate neurology support and resources. This urgent issue necessitates innovative solutions to bridge the specialist-physician gap, enhance the quality of care, and improve global healthcare outcomes.

NeuroX: A Telehealth Solution for Hospitals

​

NeuroX's teleneurology and telestroke services offer a specialized solution to address the accessibility and timeliness of neurological expertise. By providing on-demand access to vascular neurologists, NeuroX enables emergent assessments directly in the emergency room. This rapid response reduces critical door-to-needle times, ensuring patients receive timely thrombolytic therapy. Additionally, NeuroX’s TPA (thrombolysis protocol authorization) streamlines the admission process for tPA candidates, facilitating procedures like acute catheterizations and improving patient outcomes.

Furthermore, NeuroX supports post-discharge follow-up consultations, enabling ongoing case management without the need for external referrals. This proactive approach enhances patient adherence to prescribed treatments and potentially reduces the risk of readmission.
