  • 1.  Expanding access to Neuro-op

    Posted 4 days ago

    Hello Colleagues,

    Please forgive me if this is not the appropriate venue for this - I have a professional question (rather than a clinical one).
    I'm fully set up to see Neuro-ophthalmology patients by telemedicine in 20 states. For those of you licensed in multiple states, did you find a way to list yourself in multiple locations in the NANOS (or any other) directory so that patients/clinicians can find you?
    Thanks in advance.
    Best wishes,
    Cinthi

    I think this will be a Board decision as to whether we list people who have telemedicne as having locations in multiple states where they do noyt have a physical presence..

    I am personally very much against this- I think we should only list physical sites  in our directory.  A good topic for a board discussion

    Let me clarify something 

    I think it would be OK to have in our listings something like an asterisk that would mean has telemedicine services in other states available or to have a separate list of Neuroophthalmologists who offer telemedicine services in states other than where their office is 

    what I'm against is listing Multiple states for anyone who doesn't have physical presence in those states

    apologiesd to all- this was supposed to go to the Board server...I missed that it was sent to all.

    But now, you know my thoughts- I worry about making our listings so extensive that it becomes harder to find someone with an office within travelling distance.

    Many patients do not have a reachable Neuro-ophthalmologist (geographic region, impaired mobility, etc), and those that do... have to face wait-lists.
    My practice specifically advises patients to see an in-person Neuro-ophthalmologist if they can.
    I'm available to help and keen to increase access to those who do not have other options.

    Hi Cinthi,

    While NANOS appreciates your goal to help patients try to find neuro-ophthalmologists, unfortunately our organizational database structure currently precludes multiple practice addresses.   

    Perhaps a field could be added for "provides telehealth in other areas" that could be used as a filter in the search.
