Rapid implementation of virtual neurology in response to the COVID-19 pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic is causing world-wide social dislocation, operational and economic dysfunction, and high rates of morbidity and mortality. Medical practices are responding by developing, disseminating and implementing unprecedented changes in health care delivery. Telemedicine has rapidly moved to the frontline of clinical practice due to the need for prevention and mitigation strategies; these have been encouraged, facilitated, and enabled by changes in government rules and regulations and payer-driven reimbursement policies.We describe our neurology department's situational transformation from in-person outpatient visits to a largely virtual neurology practice in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Two key factors enabled our rapid deployment of virtual encounters in neurology and its subspecialties. The first was a well-established robust information technology infrastructure supporting virtual urgent care services at our institution; this connected physicians directly to patients using both the physician's and the patient's own mobile devices. The second is the concept of one patient, one chart, facilitated by a suite of interconnected electronic medical record (EMR) applications on several different device types.We present our experience with conducting general teleneurology encounters using secure synchronous audio and video connections integrated with an EMR. This report also details how we perform virtual neurological examinations that are clinically meaningful, and how we document, code and bill for these virtual services. Many of these processes can be used by other neurology providers, regardless of their specific practice model. We then discuss potential roles for teleneurology after the COVID-19 global pandemic has been contained.

Beneficial effects of corticosteroids on ocular myasthenia gravis

Kupersmith MJ; Moster M; Bhuiyan S; Warren F; Weinberg H
OBJECTIVE: To determine if moderate-or low-dose corticosteroid therapy can reduce the diplopia and frequency of deterioration to generalized disease in ocular myasthenia gravis. DESIGN: Retrospective record review. SETTING: Two university-based neuro-ophthalmology services. PATIENTS: All 32 patients with ocular myasthenia gravis, treated with prednisone, followed up for a minimum of 2 years were included. Patients were treated with 1 or more courses of daily prednisone (highest initial dose, 40-80 mg) gradually withdrawn over 4 to 6 weeks. Subsequently, in 6 patients, 2.5 to 20 mg of prednisone was given on alternate day. OUTCOME MEASURES: Diplopia in the primary position or downgaze diplopia and generalized myasthenia gravis after 2 years of follow-up. RESULTS: Diplopia, which was initially found in the primary position in 29 patients and in the downgaze position in 26 patients, was absent in 21 patients at 2 years. Generalized myasthenia gravis occurred in 3 patients at 2 years. Elevated serum acetylcholine receptor antibody levels and abnormal electromyography findings were not predictive of worsening. No patient experienced a major steroid complication. CONCLUSIONS: Moderate-dose daily prednisone for 4 to 6 weeks, followed by low-dose alternate-day therapy as needed, can control the diplopia in patients with ocular myasthenia gravis. The frequency of deterioration to generalized myasthenia gravis at 2 years may be reduced; 9.4% in this study compared with more than 40% previously reported frequency. Corticosteroids may be useful even when ocular motor dysfunction is not normalized
