*This MediaWiki has been updated to version 1.41, see [[Special:Version#mw-version-software|Special:Version]]. If you encounter any problems please let us know.
*The Masking policy has changed -- please read the announcement from Dr. Gilman below:


Masks are optional in-patient care areas except as noted below. <br>
* 26-Oct-2017
* Anyone (staff / patient / family member) with respiratory symptoms must wear a mask while in the CC.

* Masks are required when caring for patients on respiratory isolation precautions.
The new DSQ-3500 system has been installed. Continuous head localization works again. The new rack is smaller, faster, quieter, draws less power, and this also means we could update the acquisition computer (which is also faster), it is now running modern CentOS (6.9), and pushing data is much faster.
* N95 respirators or PAPRs are required when caring for patients on enhanced respiratory isolation or airborne isolation precautions.

* A patient may request that masks be worn by their care team. These requests will be honored. <br>
* 28-Mar-2017
The mask policy will be updated when surveillance data indicate increasing respiratory virus activity in the community. Please understand that we fully anticipate the need to return to masking in patient care areas this fall. <br>
