Most importantly, implementation of this new technology has improved patients’ experiences. Patients who had previously undergone wire-based localization report that the wire-free approach is more comfortable and convenient. Additionally, the ability to have the localization procedure done at the time and facility of their choosing minimizes impacts on women’s schedules, which, in many cases, are already busy with work, school and home life.
Northwell’s experience with radar-based localization demonstrates that when evaluated and implemented effectively, new technology can play a vital role in improving patient care while meeting increasingly stringent quality and cost metrics.
