NAEC requires all epilepsy centers to have trained personnel dedicated 24/7 to monitoring of video and EEG. The trained personnel are not required to be EEG technologists but must be trained in seizure recognition and recording integrity. NAEC does not require a specific monitor watcher to patient ratio to meet this criterion. The person doing the monitoring may have other responsibilities in general (such as being an EEG tech or a nurse), but he or she may not have other responsibilities while they are doing the monitoring.
NAEC verifies this requirement by:
• Verification of completion of training program with ASET for listed personnel and/or documentation of center training methodology in EMU policy document
• Documentation of coverage policy and/or adequate staffing to ensure 24/7/365 coverage in the EMU policy
