The Blue Ridge Cancer Center in Nashville is conducting a clinical study of a new antinauseas drug. Thirty-two of the patients in the study live more than 60 miles from the center. In a remote emergency triage, Dr. Traminski helps the ER team, stabilize both patients. Together they determine that while one patient should be air-lifted to Geisinger, the second can be safely transferred by ambulance.
Cliff has a congenital heart condition that requires an echocardiogram.
Dr. Slope calls Dr. Lois Tide, a pediatric cardiologist, at Oceanside Medical Center in Rhode Island. Instead of transferring Cliff to Oceanside, Dr. Tide uses OnSight to direct the echo technician at Hillside in the proper placement of the ultrasound probe. In a remote examination and consultation, the two physicians make a diagnosis and determine the best course of treatment. Every month, Dr. Dan Druff, a dermatologist from Central Hospital in Kansas City, uses OnSight to examine patients at two affiliated clinics in rural Missouri. During one of these clinics, he determines that 2 patients should travel to Central for further examination and treatment.
