How it works

How Remote EEG
Interpretation Works

Your team records the study the way it always has. A board-certified reader interprets it from your existing EEG system and documents the interpretation in your EMR. If the study shows seizure activity, that reader calls your treating team directly.

01

The study is recorded

Your technologist records on your own equipment. For point-of-care studies, a nurse or physician applies a rapid headset instead.

02

A reader interprets it

The study reaches a reader who is board certified in epilepsy or clinical neurophysiology. Pediatric studies route to pediatric-trained readers.

03

The read lands in your EMR

The interpretation posts where your team already looks for it. Urgent findings are followed by a direct phone call.

There is no new hardware and no separate portal. Your staff learns how to send a study and who to call.

What Your Agreement Would Cover

The core agreement covers adult reads of every study type. Pediatric and neonatal interpretation and point-of-care confirmation are each contracted separately, so neither is included unless a hospital signs for it.

Switch a service on to see what your coverage would include.

TeleEEG Core

Adult reads of routine, STAT, long-term, and ambulatory studies. This is the core agreement.

What You Would Be Covered For

Updates as you switch each service on.

Routine EEG
STAT EEG
Long-Term EEG
Ambulatory EEG
Pediatric and Neonatal
Point-of-Care

Four study types. Adults only.Your adult EEG volume is covered around the clock. Pediatric studies and after-hours bedside confirmation would still need another pathway.

Five study types. Every age.Adults, children, infants, and preterm newborns are all covered. After-hours bedside confirmation without a technologist would still need another pathway.

Five study types. Adults only.Your adult volume is covered, including rapid bedside confirmation after hours. Pediatric and neonatal studies would still need another pathway.

All six study types. Every age. Every hour.Nothing in your EEG volume needs to route somewhere else. This is the full program.

What the First Ninety Days Look Like

Adding EEG coverage does not mean a system build. Most hospitals go live within 45 to 60 days of signing. Here is who does what.

Select a phase to see both sides of the work.

TeleSpecialists Does
  • Completes primary and secondary source verification as part of internal provider credentialing
  • Submits the credentialing packet for every reader assigned to your hospital
  • Assigns your implementation contact and reader group
  • Tests connectivity to your EEG system
Your Team Does
  • Approves the delegated credentialing agreement
  • Grants access to your EEG database

Your medical staff office approves one delegated credentialing agreement rather than processing an individual file for every reader.

TeleSpecialists Does
  • Builds report routing into your EMR
  • Confirms where each report type lands
  • Sets the call protocol for urgent findings
  • Runs test studies end to end before go-live
Your Team Does
  • Confirms report placement with informatics
  • Names the clinical contact for urgent calls

Your staff is briefed on how to send a study and who to call. That is the full extent of the change to their workflow.

TeleSpecialists Does
  • Reads your studies across all contracted types
  • Calls your treating team directly on urgent findings
  • Begins the monthly random peer audit on your volume
  • Reviews turnaround and read quality with your team
Your Team Does
  • Uploads studies to the EEG server
  • Notifies TeleSpecialists of the study to be read

Your neurology, hospitalist, ICU, and emergency teams are now working with a consistent group of readers rather than a rotating panel.

Coverage assessment

Find the Gaps in Your EEG Coverage

The EEG Coverage Assessment compares your current coverage against a round-the-clock baseline. It uses volumes your team already tracks and returns a written summary of where the gaps sit and which study types drive them.

If you would rather work through it with someone, the EEG service line team can review your program with you instead.

What it asks for: monthly study volume by type, hours per week without reader coverage, neuro transfers in a typical month, whether you serve pediatric patients, and current STAT turnaround.

What it returns: uncovered hours against a round-the-clock baseline, which study types cannot be read in house, and the gaps most likely to drive a transfer.

How long does it take to go live with TeleEEG?

Most hospitals go live within 45 to 60 days of signing. That window covers physician credentialing, EEG system access, and EMR report routing. Delegated credentialing removes most of the paperwork from your medical staff office.

What is included in the core TeleEEG agreement?

The core TeleEEG agreement covers adult reads of every study type, including routine, STAT, long-term, and ambulatory studies. Pediatric and neonatal interpretation and point-of-care confirmation are each contracted separately.

How much work does implementation require from our team?

Very little. Your medical staff office approves one delegated credentialing agreement, your IT team grants access to the EEG system, and informatics confirms where reports land. TeleSpecialists handles credentialing, verification, routing, and testing.
