Healthcare WLAN Applications: North American Hospital Survey Results
The benefits of mobility in the delivery of healthcare services are readily apparent. Doctors and nurses spend most of the time on their feet working in teams to ensure the health and safety of patients. The ability to quickly alert staff and obtain medical information from any location within a hospital is mission critical. This demand for mobility in healthcare operations is evident in the fact that hospitals and medical practitioners were among the early adopters of paging and cordless PBX technologies (e.g. DECT). A shortage of nurses has amplified the need for increased productivity. In addition to productivity enhancements, wireless capability is viewed as a critical component of an overall strategy to reduce medical errors and save lives.
