Impulse Monitoring and St Vincent’s Medical Sign IONM Agreement

Impulse Monitoring, a provider of intraoperative neuromonitoring services to hospitals, has signed an agreement with St Vincent’s Medical Center, Jacksonville, Florida.

Impulse Monitoring (IMI) will provide St Vincent’s with comprehensive intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) services including IMI-qualified neurophysiologists and real-time professional oversight experienced physicians.

IONM assesses neurological function involving the brain, spinal cord and related nerve structures during surgery. According to Impulse Monitoring, the use of IONM facilitates the surgical process and can reduce surgical risk by providing alerts to surgeons of potential harm to spinal cord or neural structure.

Kenneth Jones, director of neurosciences/orthopedics and administrative director of surgical services at St Vincent’s Medical Center, said: “Our goal is to provide the highest quality of care in the Jacksonville area. By selecting Impulse Monitoring to provide IONM services, we have made a key decision that will further our reputation for setting the standard of care in our region for all surgeries requiring neuromonitoring.”
