The face of healthcare is changing. As our population ages and healthcare technology further develops, the demands for providers to respond to these forces are expanding, particularly in the area of neurosciences. With healthcare technology changing, developing and improving at a rapid rate, caring for the patient with neurological needs has become a complex issue involving art and science. For hospitals and health systems, development and effective provision of neuroscience services can become a strategy to facilitate transition of patients through the continuum of care. Despite the current reimbursement challenges, it will be critical for healthcare providers to plan ahead for the changing demographics in order to be prepared for the future needs of the aging patients being served as well as the demands of expanding technology. Neuroscience services typically include:
- Adult neurosurgery
- Pediatric neurosurgery
- Adult neurology
- Pediatric neurology
- Stroke
- Sleep and wake disorders
- Neuro-oncology
- Neuro-otology
- Interventional neuroradiology
- Neuroradiology
- Neuropathology
- Physical medicine and rehabilitation
