• The general workflow to utilize a tele-neurology service in practical, efficient and effective ways.
• How to apply the workflow specifically in the care of newborns undergoing therapeutic hypothermia.
• The basic clinical data from the first year of Pediatrix tele-neurology service consulting in NICUs.
