The Neurosurgery division rapidly responded to the challenge of Covid-19 by embracing telemedicine as a means of continuing to serve our patients. This included the development of innovative tools for craniometric assessment and standardized approaches to the evaluation of our patients. Our creative and pioneering approach in this area allowed us to assume leadership nationally on this topic, with division chief Jonathan Martin, MD, serving as moderator for the American Academy of Pediatrics Section on Neurological Surgery webinar entitled ‘Pediatric Neurosurgery Telehealth in the Time of Covid-19’ in April of 2020. The teamwork of our support staff, nurses, advanced practice providers, and physicians allowed us to maintain and improve our high standards of patient care through the pandemic. PATIENT SATISFACTION The Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery is committed to providing outstanding service to our referring providers and families. The division continues to earn ratings for patient, family, and provider satisfaction that are among the highest at Connecticut Children’s.
