Coverage That Expands Access Without Overextending Your Team

Moving to a 1:10 ratio and reviewing back to the last two hours every login provides the support your team needs for less critical patients.

An EEG tech working at a hospital, feeling burned out

David Roe

CEO, CortiCare

“We started CortiCare because too many hospitals were trying to do in-house critical EEG coverage without the support they deserved. Our job is to stand behind them.”

Why EEG Monitoring Breaks Down in Real-World Care

EEG monitoring is clinically essential—but operationally fragile.

Most hospitals depend on individual availability rather than defined standards, especially after hours. As volumes increase and staffing tightens, coverage becomes inconsistent, escalation becomes informal, and risk increases.

Common failure points include:

When monitoring lacks structure, patient risk increases, and staff burnout follows.

When Intermittent Monitoring Is the Right Fit

Many hospitals and practices do not need continuous ICU-level EEG surveillance for every patient.

When it’s appropriate:

Monitored intermittent EEG allows programs to align monitoring intensity to patient risk without overbuilding infrastructure.

What Monitored Intermittent EEG Means at CortiCare

Monitored intermittent EEG is not unsupervised review.

At CortiCare, it includes:

This is time-bounded, structured EEG monitoring delivered under clear standards.

It is appropriate when continuous surveillance is not clinically required.

Who Benefits Most From Monitored Intermittent EEG

Health Systems

Standardize defined coverage windows across multiple hospitals while stabilizing off-hours needs without deploying full continuous models everywhere.

Learn More About How We Support Health Systems >

Expand EEG access and cover nights or overflow without committing to full 24/7 continuous infrastructure.

Learn More About How We Support Regional Hospitals >

Intermittent models support broader service lines and maintain predictable coverage outside peak ICU acuity.

Learn More About How We Support AMCs >

Monitored intermittent EEG extends diagnostic access & manages time-bounded monitoring needs aligned with patient acuity.

Continuous EEG vs. Monitored Intermittent
EEG with Review

Both services operate under the same Virtual EEG Department
framework — but they address different clinical needs.

Continuous EEG (cEEG) is
appropriate when:

Monitored Intermittent EEG
is appropriate when:

Intermittent EEG is not a reduced standard. It is a structured model aligned to defined risk.

How Intermittent
EEG Is Implemented

CortiCare implements intermittent monitoring deliberately and collaboratively.

Physicians retain clinical authority. Internal teams retain governance. CortiCare functions as an operational safety net — stabilizing defined windows of monitoring.

What Hospitals and Practices Gain

Intermittent monitoring strengthens programs without overextending them.

Why CortiCare

Hospitals describe CortiCare as a stabilizing extension of their EEG program, not a replacement vendor.

Strengthen What You’ve Built.​

Your EEG program reflects commitment and expertise.

CortiCare helps make it more sustainable, more consistent, and more defensible across every shift and every site.

FAQs About Monitored Intermittent EEG

What is Monitored Intermittent EEG?
Monitored Intermittent EEG is structured, time-bounded EEG surveillance delivered during defined coverage windows for patients who do not require continuous ICU-level monitoring.

It is most commonly used in:

  • Step-down units
  • General hospital floors
  • Emergency departments
  • Expanding neurology programs
When risk is defined and time-bounded, monitoring should be too.
Continuous EEG requires uninterrupted surveillance due to sustained neurologic risk. Intermittent EEG is used when monitoring can be delivered in defined periods aligned to patient acuity.
