Implementation and impact of a point-of-care EEG platform in a community hospital: a cohort study

Frontiers in Digital Health | Accepted 14 July 2023

A POC EEG system can be safely implemented in a community hospital leading to an absolute decrease in transfers to tertiary hospital. This decrease in patient transfers can cover the cost of implementing the POC EEG system. The additional benefits from transfer avoidance include clinical benefits such as rapid appropriate treatment of seizures and avoidance of unnecessary treatment as well as negating transfer risk and keeping the patient at their local hospital.
