Christina Accordino has her expertise in operational accountability for the clinical and financial management of the utilization of intra-operative neuromonitoring (IONM) during surgical procedures that may put a surgical patient’s central nervous system at risk. Her passion is in providing superior patient care while meeting or exceeding clinical and quality metrics. Since 2007, she has held her Certification Examination in Neurophysiologic Intraoperative Monitoring (CNIM) through ABRET (American Board of Registration of Electroencephalographic and Evoked Potential Technologists). Her foundational skill-set includes SSEP, TceMEP, S/T-EMG, EEG, BAER, and direct cortical mapping. She feels that the use of these combined modalities supports spinal cord continuity during cranial, spine, vascular, ENT, and cardio-thoracic procedures. Her experience both in the operating room as a clinician and out, as Director of Operations for SpecialtyCare, has helped her excel in providing direction in managing complex customer, physician, employee and patient related tasks regarding the use of neurophysiological monitoring in the healthcare field.
