White Paper Info
Within one rapid EEG test at the point of care, BrainScope provides objective data on both brain bleeds and concussions to assist healthcare providers in evaluating head injured patients. This study was successful in determining utilization, staff assessment, and patient experience of the BrainScope technology in daily use. The results of the trial were overwhelmingly positive.

Abstract
Facing increased utilization and subsequent capacity and budget constraints, ED's must better understand bottlenecks and their effect on process flow to improve process efficiency. The primary objective of this study was to identify bottlenecks in obtaining a head CT and investigate patient waiting time based on those bottlenecks.

Abstract
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a common cause for visits to the emergency department (ED). The actual time required for an ED workup of a patient with mTBI in the United States is not well known. National emergency medicine organizations have recommended reducing unnecessary testing, including head computed tomography (CT) for these patients.10.

Article Info:
Emergency Department (ED) visits for mild Traumatic Head Injury (mTBI) have greatly increased due to more awareness of potential consequences of such injuries. While the vast majority (>80%) of mTBI patients who go to the ED receive a head CT scan, >90% of them are found to be negative. This practice unnecessarily exposes these patients to radiation, increases the use of ED resources, and lengthens throughput times. The integration of reliable, objective predictors of intracranial injury for making important initial assessment decisions can impact significantly on this practice.
