Make sure your surgeries are booked and confirmed without making a
single phone call. Impulse offers on-line review of your surgical
monitoring schedule in a HIPAA secure environment. Of course, you
can still call us anytime. We love to hear from our clients.
Data Security and Storage
Impulse transfers all real time IOM data to a remote central
location for professional oversight and interpretation via an
encrypted virtual Private Network, meeting all HIPAA
requirements.
Professional Oversight
Every case that is presently being
monitored by Impulse has an overseeing Neurologist or senior level
neurophysiologist who is dedicated to
confirming that the best possible information is being provided to
the surgeon when it is critical.
Reporting
At the end of each surgery a comprehensive professional report is
generated and sent to the hospital records department as well as the surgeons
office. The report includes numeric results and professional
interpretation comments on the results for each modality that was
tested during the surgery. All CPT codes and the number of units to
be used in billing are also included to keep with Impulse’s insistence on open
and auditable billing practices. Propriety and easy to read reports highlight any
abnormalities that were noted by the neurologist during the surgery.
This allows the surgeon to quickly focus on those parts of the
report that are of concern to the surgical outcome.
Cumulative reporting by case type or surgeon is
also available.
Patient Care
Patient Information guides are provided at request to all Surgeon’s Offices so
that the patient is aware that neuromonitoring will be applied for
their surgery and the reasons why it is important. The
Neurophysiologist will also introduce themselves to the patient
before the start of the surgery and answer any questions that the
patient may have regarding monitoring.
