Hospital EEG interpretation
Every Study.
Every Age.
Every Hour.
TeleSpecialists reads every type of hospital EEG study, for adults and for children, twenty-four hours a day. Every report goes into your own EMR, where your team already looks for it.
Your equipment and your workflow stay as they are. The interpretation is what you are adding.
400+ partner hospitals
Hospitals in more than 36 states rely on TeleSpecialists for neurology coverage.
200+ board-certified specialists
Every EEG reader is board certified in epilepsy or clinical neurophysiology.
Physician-owned since 2014
TeleSpecialists is physician-founded, physician-owned, and physician-led.
Program Detail
Each Section Answers One Question
Coverage and turnaround, age range, the after-hours pathway, reader credentials, and agreement structure.
Study Types
What we read, what comes back, and what turnaround your team can schedule around.
What we read ›Pediatric & Neonatal
Age-specific reads for children, infants, and preterm newborns, including the NICU.
Who reads them ›Point-of-Care
Rapid bedside EEG when there is concern for seizure and no technologist on site.
How it works ›Quality & Readers
Who reads your studies, what they are certified in, and how they are audited.
Our quality standards ›How It Works
What happens to a study, what the agreement covers, and what the first ninety days look like.
Start to finish ›Coverage Assessment
Compare your current EEG coverage against a round-the-clock baseline and see where the gaps sit, using volumes your team already tracks.

What Changes, Depending on Where You Sit
EEG coverage carries different implications for clinical governance, nursing workflow, and program planning.
Six roles. Select one for the detail relevant to it.
Clinical Governance
Physicians Answer to Outcomes
TeleSpecialists is physician-owned. Clinical decisions sit with physicians who are accountable for the read.
- Every reader board certified in epilepsy or clinical neurophysiology
- Random monthly peer audit of every reader, including the director
- Delegated credentialing instead of a stack of files
Nursing Workflow
Nothing Lands Back on Nursing
Your nurses run the protocol they built. Our physicians work inside it and document in your EMR, so nothing has to be chased down or retyped.
- Reports post in your EMR, not a separate portal
- A direct phone call to the treating team on urgent findings
- A consistent group of readers your staff works with over time
Read Quality and Turnaround
Turnaround You Can Schedule Around
These physicians read full time. An overnight study is handled the same way as one sent at midday.
- Routine, STAT, ambulatory, and long-term reads by one team
- Long-term studies reviewed while the study is still recording
- Pediatric studies routed to pediatric-trained readers
Throughput and Disposition
After-Hours Reads Without a Call Schedule
When a patient may be seizing after hours, your team receives a confirmed interpretation rather than working from clinical judgment alone. That often determines whether the patient is dispositioned or transferred.
- STAT studies read on arrival, day or night
- Rapid bedside EEG a nurse can apply without a technologist
- A documented plan in your EMR before any transfer decision
Predictable Operations
Contracted Coverage, Not Variable Spend
Coverage becomes a contracted line item rather than a variable one. Patients who can be worked up locally stay local.
- One core agreement, with additional services contracted separately
- No new hardware and no capital outlay
- Most hospitals go live within 45 to 60 days
Service Line Growth
Your Plan Stops Depending on One Hire
Coverage comes through a contract instead of a recruitment cycle. That changes what you can commit to for the year.
- All six study types covered by one team
- Coverage that holds nights, weekends, and holidays
- Capacity to take complex cases you now send out
Common Questions
Does TeleSpecialists read every type of EEG study?
Yes. Routine, STAT, long-term, ambulatory, point-of-care, pediatric, and neonatal studies are all interpreted by the same service line. Adult studies of every type fall under the core agreement, and pediatric interpretation and point-of-care confirmation are each contracted separately.
Are TeleSpecialists EEG reads available twenty-four hours a day?
Yes. Coverage holds overnight, on weekends, and on holidays, because reading is the only responsibility these physicians carry during a shift. STAT studies are read on arrival at any hour, and urgent findings are followed by a direct phone call to your treating team.
Does working with TeleSpecialists require new equipment?
No. Physicians read from the EEG system your hospital already owns, and interpretations post in your existing EMR. Setup means credentialing the readers and granting system access rather than installing hardware or standing up a separate portal.
From the EEG Service Line Director
A Hospital Can Record an EEG and Still Not Have an Answer
Most hospitals can place an EEG. Fewer have someone available to interpret it overnight or on a weekend. The gap is in coverage, and the bedside team absorbs it.
Without an interpretation, the bedside physician relies on clinical judgment alone. That can mean treating a patient who is not seizing, or holding treatment from a patient who needs it. The consequences appear later in length of stay, transfer rates, and outcomes.
