Introducing Kerlan-Jobe Center for Sports Neurology
Achieving Peak Brain Performance
The Kerlan-Jobe Center has a rich history in sports medicine. The orthopaedic clinic has worked with elite athletes from the Lakers, Clippers, Dodgers, Rams, and other professional teams. The multidisciplinary clinic brings that same level of expertise to all of their patients, the majority being everyday people experiencing concussion, head injury, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or pain.
Dr. Williams is a neurologist that founded and runs the Center for Sports Neurology and Pain Medicine at the Kerlan-Jobe orthopaedic clinic, which is affiliated with Cedars Sinai.
You don't need to have brain injury to benefit from optimization. For example, the benefits of getting better sleep are going to have downstream positive effects on cognitive function and overall health. There are preventive benefits to optimizing neurological function.
The Challenges
- The Kerlan-Jobe Center was referring out patients for neuropsychological testing, which required scheduling additional appointments and subjecting them to hours-long tests.
- Patients with brain injury and other cognitive concerns struggle with healthcare-related logistics, leading to a drop off in compliance and delayed or worsened outcomes.
The Solutions
- Creyos cognitive assessments allow the team at Kerlan-Jobe to retain patients and complete cognitive testing and interpretation in the clinic during a single appointment.
- Re-testing is completed more frequently so that the neurologists and patients can regularly track the efficacy of care and improvements to cognitive performance.
The Results
- The Kerlan-Jobe center retains more patients in their care, reducing referrals by 10%.
- Patients immediately complete Creyos cognitive assessments and often receive same-day results interpretation from the neurologist.
- Patients are more satisfied with their healthcare experience at the Center for Sports Neurology.
