The Neuro E-Health® Ecosystem

The co-founders of Neural Network Health, LLC created the Neuro E-Health® neurological health communication platform system to help providers and health care institutions improve neurological care outcomes.

Applications of Military Processes to Health Care

The co-founders looked to their experience in military health care operations as an important foundation for operational success. In fact, the tenants of military communications (“comms”) are readily adaptable as applied to health care, particularly neurological care.

Military leaders quickly learn the impact of military communications , or “coms” on each and every task and mission. In fact, all military personal undergo constant training that involves learning and mastering strategic activities to maneuver hostile and non-hostile environments. The tenants of military communications are applicable in optimizing the care of people who are challenged with the threat to their bodily “operations” when they has neurological problems.

The crux of the the Neuro E-Health® Ecosystem, with it’s flagship service being Neuro E-consult®, is to identify the pertinent communication target in each type of health care encounter regarding a neurological problem and know the “call sign” of the target. Similar, our health care method uses the appropriate communicates in order to relay the most crucial information required for individuals to reduce threat or risk from their nervous system problem.

Poor communication too often occurs within and outside of the medical team caring for a patient.

Communication is essential to success in any field, but particular in the field of health care, and specifically in the health field of neurology. After all, the brain is the human communications center.

The human brain and nervous system is designed to protect us, help us evolve and allow us to survive.  It follows that strategic communications surrounding neurological health is an will continue to be an essential part of addressing the $789 billion in economic costs for neurological disorders just in the US alone, as per data from the Annals of Neurology 2017:81 (4): 479-494, by Gooch,CL et al.

An essential communication system is the fabric of good neurological care.  

.

As per The Joint Commission’s vast database of reviews of health care institutions and processes, poor communication is one of the top three root causes of unexpected adverse medical events. These adverse medical events are lined to injury and death. For those who suffer from neurological problems, such Parkinson’s Disease, multiple sclerosis and epilepsy have in-turn been found to have poorer outcomes that those without neurological conditions. Further, if neurologists are not involved in these people’s care, the outcomes are even worse.

This is why all components of the Neuro E-Health® Ecosystem have embedded protocols that are used in a timely and effective way.

Poor Communication leads to high stakes for neurological patients.

A 2017 report indicated that incomplete or non-purposeful communication among health care providers amounted to more than 12 billion dollars in health care costs each care.

Physician to physician communication

Physician to physician communication is especially important for the health care team taking care of a patient with a neurological problem. Neurological patients often pay the highest risks of poor communication between providers/ The stakes are very high for neurological patients and their team with the loss of life being the ultimate risk due to communication deficiencies inherent to surrounding neurological conditions.

Physician to Patient Communication

One neurological care model targets the problem of poor communication between providers to patients and families with neurological problems. There are many reasons for this often unintentional lapse in essential communication surrounding neurological care. Neurological illiteracy plays a role since the vast majority of health care providers have not been trained in communicating with each other about the nervous system, much less communicating with their patients about the implications of their nervous system problem(s).

The Neural Network

The concept of neural networks in health care is foundational to our specific communication algorithms. The algorithms draw upon the expertise of clinical neuroscientists, communications experts and psychologists in order to put our “neural network comms” in reach to patients and families in need of not just a diagnosis, but a solution.
