A therapeutic approach based on availability
All neurologists practicing in our unit have been selected through a rigorous process for their skills in all areas of general neurology. Their accreditation is reviewed every two years.
Each patient is under the sole responsibility of one of the doctors in our unit. The doctor coordinates all steps in the hospitalization process with healthcare personnel (admission, observation, prescriptions, treatments, diagnosis and notification of diagnosis, relationships with support persons, discharge or transfer process, hospitalization report, discharge orders, and relationship with the referring physician).
