Recently we had a “STAT” EEG that needed to be done per Dr Woo. According to Dr. Woo’s group an EEG is a diagnostic study that can be done the next day, and there are no true STAT EEG’s unless determining end of life(brain death). EEG’s will be done Monday thru Friday 0700-1530. We do not offer after hours EEG services at all her at RWH. We have an on call EEG tech during the weekends from 0800-1600 for any EEG’s that may need to be done. That tech can be reached by calling the RWH operator and ask for the on call EEG tech’s pager #. I understand we have had some new staff added to RWH recently, however this process has been in place for about 10 months. Please notify your staff of our process so we are not confusing ourselves into calling afterhours EEG tech. Only children’s has afterhours EEG tech’s on call.
Thank you.
