White Plains Hospital has adopted the SCOUT Wire-Free Radar Breast Localization System. SCOUT uses nonradioactive, radar technology to provide real-time surgical guidance during breast surgery.

During surgery, the SCOUT guide uses real-time distance measurement guidance to accurately detect the location of the SCOUT reflector — and the tumor to within 1 millimeter of accuracy.

Jeff Rabrich, DO, Medical Director, Emergency Medicine, Montefiore Nyack Hospital, uses Twiage to prep for incoming patients. Montefiore Nyack Hospital is now using Twiage to assist with the measles outbreak prevalent in its location of Rockland County. Twiage provides for prehospital communication with first responders and Emergency Department staff, enabling advance preparation of incoming patients. The hospital has worked with Twiage to develop a new field that will help identify patients with symptoms consistent with measles who may require isolated care. When that field is utilized by a first responder, the corresponding dis - play screen in the hospital is colored blue, assisting with distinguishing potential incoming measles cases. The isolation field also provides for more specific information related to potential measles cases, such as measles exposure, vaccina - tion information and illness symptoms, including fever, rash, cough, runny nose and red eyes. n M D N E W S .
