DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3gvr69/neurology_and) has announced the addition of the "Neurology and Neurosurgery: Clinical & Review Criteria Guidelines for Managing Care, 3rd Edition 2013" report to their offering.

Evidence-based clinical and review criteria guidelines for outpatient and inpatient tests and procedures with indications, medical necessity coverage criteria, authoritative references and resources ++ Alzheimer disease & ADHD page clinical guidelines - both with extensive references and resource materials. 3rd edition, update 2013, 276 pages.

The events related to medical and surgical procedures lend themselves well to the application of guidelines, protocols or pathways to assist in understanding the medical/surgical care issues that either require an acute hospital level of care or that will lead to an increased length of stay (LOS) at an acute level of care. Many procedures that until recent years were routinely performed following inpatient admission are now performed in ambulatory surgery suites or in day surgery' programs. An openness to consider whether a procedure needs inpatient care at all is really the first step in the resource utilization management evaluation process.

It is recommended that, for any common surgical procedure where the LOS is greater than expected, a day by day or shift by shift evaluation of the care delivered with an analysis of its medical necessity and adequacy be developed.
