National Neurology and Stroke Call Survey Results
LISTEN ONLINE TO 60-MINUTE WEBINAR BROADCAST
Recorded Thursday, December 10, 2009

Hospitals across the nation face significant challenges maintaining 24/7/365 neurology and stroke call coverage. And the neurologists providing coverage are showing signs of buckling under the pressures of a deteriorating quality of life filled with escalating inpatient, emergency and stroke center demands.

In an environment where hospital-based services drag down neurologists’ professional incomes and increase malpractice liability exposure, hospital administrators will increasingly struggle to secure hospital-based neurology coverage.

Until now, the absence of real-time national data made it difficult for hospitals and physicians to understand rapidly changing call coverage trends. Insights from NeuStrategy’s recently completed Neurology and Stroke Call Survey can help hospitals and physicians frame – and possibly redefine – neurology and stroke call expectations in an era that calls for new hospital-physician alignment strategies.

Join NeuStrategy Thursday, December 10, to investigate the state of neurology and stroke call based on a real-time snapshot of 142 hospitals across the U.S.
