Welcome TO PRN READ
IntraOperative Monitoring (IONM) has become the gold standard of patient care
regarding spine, brain, vascular and ENT surgeries. In recent years, the
number of IOM
cases has grown exponentially as a result of advances in IOM systems, improved
monitoring procedures, and the surgeons’ increased awareness of the benefits of
IOM. However, a vital missing link with many of these cases is the real-time
monitoring by a Clinical Neurophysiologist. Quite simply, this is due to the
small number of Neurophysiologists who are dedicated to being full-time IOM
readers. Due to advancements in telemedicine, we are able to monitor cases
anywhere within the United States while maintaining full-time communication with
the monitoring technologist and surgeon.
At PRN Read, we specialize in filling this gap with a team of highly trained and
licensed Surgical Neurophysiologists who can provide ongoing interpretations,
reporting, professional fee billing, real-time data archival, and expert
technical support for the monitoring technologist. Our goal is to raise the
level of monitoring standards by adding an additional level of support for the
surgeon, for the monitoring technologist and for the safety of the patient.
