 Join Dr. Bermeo in a conversation with Dr. Susan Arnold, and Dr. Fred Lado, as they discuss the article, "It’s Current: NAEC Provides Us With the Recipe to Build a Better Epilepsy Center". Click here to read the article. This podcast was sponsored by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers (NAEC). 2023 Guidelines for Specialized Epilepsy Centers We’d also like to acknowledge Epilepsy Currents podcast editor Dr. Adriana Bermeo-Ovalle, and contributing editor Dr. Rohit Marawar, and the team at Sage. In episode 7 of the Epilepsy Currents podcast, the discussion focuses on the 2023 Guidelines for Specialized Epilepsy Centers, published by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers (NAEC). Hosted by Dr. Adriana Bermeo, the episode features insights from Dr. Susan Arnold, the senior author of the executive summary of the report, and Dr. Fred Lado, president of the NAEC and the first author of the guidelines. The guidelines aim to set comprehensive standards for epilepsy care, particularly addressing the needs of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. Brief Summary The 2023 NAEC guidelines for epilepsy care are designed to elevate the standards of care provided at specialized epilepsy centers. These guidelines distinguish between best practices for patient care and accreditation standards, the latter being what centers must meet to receive NAEC accreditation. Developed through an "evidence-informed consensus" process, these guidelines include contributions from a diverse panel, including neurologists, nurses, EEG technologists, social workers, neuropsychologists, patients, and caregivers. This inclusive approach ensures that the guidelines address comprehensive needs across the spectrum of epilepsy care. Key Takeaways Guideline and Accreditation Distinction: Dr. Lado clarified the difference between the NAEC's guidelines and its accreditation process. The guidelines represent consensus on best practices in epilepsy care, while accreditation standards are specific criteria that centers must meet to demonstrate adherence to these practices. This distinction helps centers focus on gradual implementation of the guidelines without immediate pressure for compliance. Inclusive Development Process: Dr. Arnold emphasized that the guidelines were developed through an evidence-informed consensus, incorporating opinions from a broad array of stakeholders, including those directly affected by epilepsy. This method helps ensure that the guidelines are comprehensive and address practical aspects of patient care. Focus on Comprehensive Care: The guidelines have expanded to cover not only inpatient and surgical care but also comprehensive outpatient services, reflecting the realities of where most epilepsy care occurs. This shift acknowledges the importance of accessibility, communication, and specialized services for various patient groups. Resource Considerations: Recognizing the resource-intensive nature of comprehensive epilepsy care, the guidelines provide a framework for centers to gradually adapt to higher standards without abrupt changes. This gradual implementation is intended to ease the burden on centers, allowing them time to secure necessary resources. Future Directions and Improvements: The guidelines are seen as a living document, with the NAEC planning more frequent updates to keep pace with advancements in epilepsy treatment and care. This adaptive approach aims to ensure that the guidelines remain relevant and practical for implementing the latest best practices in epilepsy care. Transcript Adrianna Bermeo-Ovalle, MD (Host): The main purpose that brings our community together is our desire and resolve to offer people living with epilepsy the best alternatives of diagnosis and treatment; the ones that will empower them to live their best possible life. But what does that mean in practical terms? How do we put that intention into clinical practice? The National Association of Epilepsy Centers, NAEC, has taken a careful look at this question. We are delighted to have the opportunity to discuss together the 2023 Guidelines for Specialized Epilepsy Centers that will inform epilepsy care in the present and the future.
