Intraoperative Neuromonitoring (IONM) for Memphis
Reliable, credentialed IONM coverage built for the Mid-South — one standard across facilities and cases.Advanced Monitoring Services works across the Mid-South today — supporting IONM in Jonesboro and a substantial volume of ambulatory EEG (AEEG) across the region. AMS brings that same company-wide operating-room record, dating to 2006, to hospitals and surgery centers in the Memphis metro. We integrate into your OR team to support the patient, run the modalities each case requires, and help keep surgeries on schedule.
- 20+ years of operating-room experience — A company-wide IONM history dating to 2006.
- High surgical volume supported — Across orthopedic spine, neurosurgery, vascular, and ENT cases.
- Joint Commission accredited — Accredited by The Joint Commission, an independent healthcare accrediting organization.
- Strong long-term partnerships — Lasting relationships across active hospital and surgery-center partners.

Quality & Accountability
Held to the Standard of the Rooms We Work In
Across a Mid-South catchment that spans three states, surgical teams look for monitoring that stays reliable and consistent from facility to facility — prepared, clearly communicated, and free of added administrative strain. External accreditation backs it. AMS is accredited by The Joint Commission, an independent healthcare accrediting organization. AMS has developed and continually improves a robust, evolving, Joint Commission–aligned quality assurance and improvement program.
For Memphis-area leadership coordinating care across a wide referral region, that means one accountable standard rather than several. For surgeons, it means the appropriate modalities and qualified personnel prepared at case start.
Why AMS Here
One Standard Across the Mid-South Catchment
Memphis anchors a Mid-South referral region with deep neurosurgical and orthopedic depth — academic medical centers, large hospital systems, specialty surgical groups, and surgery centers drawing cases from across Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi. Surgical programs at that scale look for monitoring coverage that stays consistent across facilities and cases.
AMS already works within this catchment — providing IONM in Jonesboro, roughly an hour from Memphis, and a substantial volume of ambulatory EEG (AEEG) across the region. That established Mid-South presence means AMS approaches Memphis-area coverage with a consistent credentialing and oversight framework already in motion nearby, so a case in one facility is supported to the same bar as a case across the metro or across the state line.
In Your Region
What AMS Brings to Memphis
For Memphis-area surgical programs, AMS provides a credentialed technologist in the room, a board-certified neurologist reading in real time, and a partnership structured to support a high-referral case schedule. We integrate into your existing OR workflow rather than coordinating from outside, and we help reduce the administrative burden associated with IONM staffing and credential coordination.
Credentials and oversight are the baseline; every reputable partner should meet them. What sets AMS apart is how we serve — a genuine commitment to the patient on the table and to the OR team around them, case after case.
No two programs define success the same way. What an ambulatory surgery center needs from a monitoring partner is not what a Level I trauma center needs, so AMS shapes coverage, communication, and scheduling around how your facility defines a good outcome rather than applying one template everywhere.
For programs that draw patients from a wide regional catchment, the value is a reliable, uniform framework that holds across facilities.

One Partner, More Than One Pathway
Cross-pathway capability
area partnership reaches beyond the OR from the start. The same credentialed, accountable model supports both AEEG — in-home long-term ambulatory monitoring — and Hospital EEG managed inside the hospital, each integrating into your practice from scheduling through final report.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Can AMS support facilities that draw cases from across the Mid-South?
Yes. AMS coverage applies a consistent credentialing and oversight framework across facilities and state lines, which matters for Memphis programs that draw referrals from Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi. AMS already works within the catchment — IONM in Jonesboro, roughly an hour away, and substantial regional AEEG — so Memphis-area sites are supported on the same framework AMS has used since 2006.
Does AMS handle complex cranial, vascular, and ENT cases, not just spine?
Yes. Alongside spine work, AMS supports brain cases (such as aneurysm clipping, tumor excision, epilepsy surgery, deep brain stimulation, and craniotomy), vascular cases such as carotid endarterectomy, and ENT procedures, with advanced mapping modalities available where the case requires them.
Which modalities does AMS run, and who reads the data?
The modalities used are specific to the procedure and the patient's pathology, so the exact combination is determined case by case. Common modalities include SSEP, TcMEP, free-run and triggered EMG, direct nerve stimulation, and EEG, with advanced mapping for complex cases. A licensed neurologist credentialed at your hospital reviews the real-time data through a secure, HIPAA-conscious connection — consistent with CMS guidance and prevailing standards of care for real-time physician interpretation.
