Abstract
The practice of neurology is undergoing significant transformation due to evolving
economic pressures, workforce shortages, and increasing demand for neurologic care.
Lower reimbursements, increasing operating expenses, and complexity of care challenge
the sustainability of existing practice models. This study outlines critical considerations
for practice and staffing models in neurology, focusing on strategies to optimize
access to care, contain costs for patients and the practice, and enhance operational
efficiency. Key topics discussed include integrating advanced practice providers,
expanding teleneurology and intravisit care, exploring value-based care models, and
enhancing workflows via technology to improve patient experience and clinic efficiency.
As the field continues to evolve, neurology practices must adopt agile strategies
that balance clinical excellence with economic sustainability in order to meet the
demands of a challenging healthcare landscape.
