Abbott Northwestern Hospital’s Adult Neurology Residency Program

0:02
Allina Health is a large non-profit
0:04
health system that serves the
0:06
communities here in Minnesota and
0:08
Western Wisconsin it has a number of
0:11
hospitals clinics and other sites we
0:13
have over 4 200 doctors that work in our
0:17
system and Allina Health Neuroscience
0:20
Institute is part of Illini health and
0:23
within the Institute we have over 75
0:26
neurologists we have over 35
0:30
neuroradiologists over 10 Interventional
0:33
neurospecialists so it's a large health
0:36
system and we're a comprehensive
0:38
Neurological Institute that resides
0:40
within it a service line is is somewhat
0:43
of a New Concept in in healthcare today
0:45
but it is a very important one
0:47
especially in neurosciences so when
0:49
service lines were created they were
0:51
created keeping the patient in mind so
0:53
instead of separate departments like
0:55
neurology neurosurgery neuroradiology
0:58
they brought all the Specialists
1:00
together to take care of a patient so
1:02
the patient was in the center and the
1:04
specialist was all brought under a
1:06
neurological Neuroscience Institute to
1:09
take care of this patient and so large
1:11
Health Systems across the country are
1:13
now organized as service lines because
1:16
that is the most appropriate way one
1:18
takes care of patients with neurological
1:20
disorders
1:22
what makes the Allina Health Stroke
1:24
Program special is our teamwork our
1:26
neuro providers spend more time with
1:28
families than many other specialties
1:30
over time we have built trust support
1:32
and collaboration across the hospitals
1:35
these qualities Foster a positive
1:37
culture and assist us with achieving our
1:39
ultimate goal of being the premier
1:42
Stroke Program of the Upper Midwest
1:44
across Allina Health we provide a full
1:47
Continuum of stroke care starting with
1:50
Community education to recovery and
1:53
Rehabilitation our philosophy is that
1:56
comprehensive stroke care is a community
1:59
standard
2:00
our program provides care for
2:02
approximately 25 to 30 percent of
2:06
minnesotans with a stroke
2:08
at Allina Health we have Cutting Edge
2:11
technology with sub-specialty expertise
2:14
which is available around the clock
2:17
this includes a team of vascular
2:20
neurologists
2:22
neuroradiologists and
2:23
neurointerventionalists
2:25
at illiner Health we have developed a
2:28
culture where higher reliability and
2:31
quality is standard the Journey of a
2:34
stroke patient within Allina Health
2:36
would be unique based on their
2:38
individual needs
2:39
over 70 percent of our patients will
2:41
arrive by EMS to one of our emergency
2:44
rooms at that time they're often greeted
2:47
by an emergency provider a stroke
2:49
neurologist a registered nurse an EMT
2:53
lab Radiology a pharmacist and spiritual
2:58
care
3:00
at our Metro sites we have been able to
3:03
achieve a door to drug time of less than
3:07
60 minutes and approximately 90 percent
3:10
of our patients also our Metro sites
3:13
have been recognized by the American
3:16
Heart Association get with the guideline
3:20
program with Gold Plus awards for
3:24
Advanced Therapy and stroke honor roll
3:27
plus Elite
3:29
the treatment of brain aneurysms at a
3:31
line of health is truly comprehensive we
3:33
offer the full spectrum of care from
3:35
family screening for patients who don't
3:37
have a known aneurysm to surveillance
3:40
for patients who have a known aneurysm
3:42
to the perioperative care of patients
3:45
who we treat and lifelong follow-up for
3:48
all of our patients the Givens brain
3:51
tumor program here at Allina Health in
3:53
Minneapolis is a leading neuro-oncologic
3:55
program within the state of Minnesota we
3:57
provide Advanced Diagnostics Cutting
4:00
Edge Neurosurgical techniques radiation
4:02
and systemic based cancer Therapies in
4:05
addition to clinical research and trials
4:07
supportive care and resources for
4:09
patients and their families throughout
4:11
their brain tumor Journey at Allina
4:13
health patients with brain tumor are
4:16
usually referred either from the Twin
4:19
Cities or out of state sometimes
4:21
overseas we treat the patients most of
4:25
them in the interoperative MRI suite the
4:28
purpose of using the interruptive MRI
4:30
suite is to afford us as complete a
4:33
resection of the tumor as possible
4:37
prior to surgery they are going to go
4:40
through a battery of Imaging testing
4:43
and we are able to narrow down with the
4:46
new generation of MRIs we're able to
4:48
narrow down the diagnosis
4:50
quite readily we offer a wide array of
4:53
clinical trials for patients with newly
4:55
diagnosed and recurrent brain tumors our
4:58
clinical trials provide patients access
5:00
to targeted therapies small molecule
5:02
Inhibitors variety of chemotherapy and
5:05
systemic approaches devices and Surgical
5:08
and radiation techniques
5:10
there's a lot of benefits to
5:12
tele-neurology but the obvious one is
5:14
that we get to reach patients that
5:16
otherwise would not have been able to
5:17
see a neurology specialist we take our
5:20
expertise in neurology and deliver it to
5:23
the patient this way the patients can
5:25
stay at their local hospitals and the
5:28
local hospitals can do what they're
5:30
meant to do which is take care of the
5:32
patients in the community which they
5:33
serve we see patients and provide access
5:37
to a neurologist 24 7 and when we see
5:40
patients we follow them through the
5:42
course of the hospitalization
5:45
