Physician Involvement

In the traditional medical model, a technologist always works with a physician. Technologists do not and should not work without physician oversight.  Sentient has led the industry in providing physicians trained in electrophysiology, neurophysiology, and IOM to work with our technologists during surgery. Known as reading physicians, these individuals are part of our “real time” monitoring program that consists of transmitting data from the operating room to the physician in real-time. The reading physician interprets the data that is provided by the technologist and communicates via voice and instant messaging during the entire surgery.  When necessary, our physicians speak with the surgeon regarding changes in data.

With the number of full-time and dedicated reading physicians we employ, we are able to provide this type of quality assurance and added protection during all of our surgeries on a 24/7 365 day basis.
