Technical Tips: The Essential NeuroAnalyst: Creation of a Successful Program

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

KEY WORDS:
