Advanced Monitoring Services

What Advanced Monitoring Services does

Advanced Monitoring Services (AMS) is a Springdale, Arkansas-based private healthcare services company founded in 2006 that delivers outsourced intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) and electroencephalogram (EEG) services to hospitals, surgery centers, and referring physicians. Its core IONM offering places board-certified surgical neurophysiologists (CNIM credentialed) in the operating room, with every case overseen remotely in real time by a credentialed neurologist over HIPAA-compliant internet connections; modalities span SSEP, TcMEP, EMG, direct nerve stimulation, EEG, and motor/language mapping across orthopedic, brain and spine, ENT, and vascular procedures. The EEG service line covers routine, in-home ambulatory (AEEG), and continuous/long-term monitoring (cEEG/LTM) plus an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit, with interpretation by an on-staff epileptologist and a 48-hour report turnaround.

AMS operates an enterprise field-sales go-to-market targeting hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, and physician practices, with orders placed via fax and scheduling managed by dedicated in-house teams; it bills professional-service fees for monitoring procedures, with insurance pre-certification and appeals handled on the patient's behalf. The company expanded in October 2020 with the acquisition of Neurolinks, integrating it as a wholly owned subsidiary to deepen its Tulsa MSA presence and broaden clinical neurodiagnostic services. Following the 2023 ABRET accreditation of the IONM School by AMS (the eighth such recognized program in the US and the first in Arkansas), AMS also runs a credentialed-talent training pipeline that doubles as a distinct education product. Operations cover Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Florida, with headquarters in Springdale and a regional operations presence in Tulsa.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• NeurolinkscoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 9 October 2020AMS acquired Neurolinks, one of the largest providers of IONM and clinical neurodiagnostic services in the Tulsa Metropolitan Area. Prior to acquisition, Neurolinks was owned and operated by Janna Cheek, REEGT, CNIM, and was the first independent neurodiagnostic testing facility incorporated in Oklahoma (2000). The acquisition expanded AMS's geographic footprint, grew service lines to include comprehensive fully integrated neurodiagnostic services, and added complementary clinical neurodiagnostic capabilities (routine EEG, long-term EEG monitoring, AEEG, and EMG) to AMS's core IONM focus.
