Title
Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) Therapy System Implementation at a Neurology Department in Saudi Arabia.
Abstract
The objective of this paper is to report on the implementation of a Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) Therapy System at a neurology department in Saudi Arabia. Key informant interviews, meeting documents, and experience of the researcher were part of the data collection sources used in the study. A thematic analysis of the data was conducted. The preliminary work shows improvements in epilepsy treatment within the neurology department as a result of the new Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) therapy system. We discuss the lessons learned and identify the limitations of the study. Future work will further investigate the impacts of the VNS system on physician and patient satisfaction and health outcomes.
