Neurology Practices
Give complex neurological patients the time they need without sacrificing schedule efficiency.
Neurology appointments are long. A new patient evaluation for seizures or multiple sclerosis can take 60-90 minutes. Follow-ups for chronic conditions require 30-40 minutes of thoughtful discussion. When you add EEGs, EMGs, and nerve conduction studies to the mix, your scheduling becomes a challenge of fitting large time blocks into a finite day. Curowell helps you maximize the value of every long appointment slot.
Built for your workflow
We understand how neurology practices actually work
Long appointments mean each no-show is catastrophic
When a 60-minute new patient evaluation no-shows, you cannot fill that slot with two 30-minute follow-ups on short notice. The lost revenue from a single missed new patient visit in neurology exceeds what most specialties lose from three no-shows. Your schedule is too tightly packed with long appointments to absorb these gaps.
No-Show Predictor
No-Show Predictor is especially valuable for neurology because the cost of each missed appointment is so high. The system identifies at-risk long appointments and triggers proactive confirmation outreach. For high-risk new patient slots, it can suggest scheduling a follow-up patient as a backup who can be moved to the next available time if the new patient does show.
EEG and EMG scheduling requires specialized coordination
Electrodiagnostic studies need specific equipment, trained technologists, and extended time blocks. An EEG takes 45-60 minutes plus setup. An EMG/NCS can take 60-90 minutes depending on the nerve distribution being tested. These studies cannot be double-booked, and the technologist's schedule must align with the equipment availability.
Appointment Scheduler
Appointment Scheduler manages electrodiagnostic studies as resource-constrained appointments. Each study type is defined with its equipment requirements, technologist assignment, and time allocation. The system prevents scheduling conflicts between the technologist, equipment, and room, ensuring every study has the resources it needs when the patient arrives.
Chronic condition monitoring spans years
Patients with epilepsy, MS, Parkinson's, or migraine need ongoing monitoring for years or decades. Visit frequency changes as their condition evolves: quarterly during medication adjustments, then semi-annually when stable. Tracking where each of your 800 chronic patients falls on their monitoring cadence is impossible without automation.
Smart Reminders
Smart Reminders maintains condition-specific monitoring schedules that adapt to each patient's current status. An epilepsy patient on stable medication gets semi-annual reminders, while one undergoing medication changes gets quarterly outreach. When a patient's visit frequency should change, your provider updates the cadence and the system adjusts future reminders automatically.
Common questions
Questions from neurology practices
Can we block specific time slots for new patient evaluations versus follow-ups?
Yes. You can reserve specific portions of each day or week for new patient evaluations, ensuring these long slots are protected from being broken up by shorter follow-ups. If a new patient slot goes unfilled by a configurable cutoff, it can be released for follow-up bookings so the time is not wasted.
How does the system handle patients who need both a provider visit and a diagnostic study?
Studies and provider visits can be linked as a sequence. For example, an EEG followed by a physician review can be scheduled on the same day with appropriate time between. The system books both with the correct resources and sends the patient a single confirmation covering the full visit sequence with instructions for each component.
Can patients with chronic conditions message their care team between visits?
Yes. Patient Chat provides a secure channel for between-visit communication. Patients can report symptom changes, medication side effects, or seizure frequency updates. Your team triages these messages and can determine whether the patient needs an earlier appointment or whether a medication adjustment can be discussed at the next scheduled visit.
