"The business of healthcare, whether at a doctor’s office, hospital, outpatient facility or long-term care facility, is often a delicate balancing act of urgency, accuracy, privacy, regulations and technology. This balancing act can make solving issues in the healthcare industry seem like a daunting task, but with the right wireless solution, many improvements can be seen quickly and easily. Arguably, two of the largest issues facing the healthcare industry today are worker productivity and error rates. While computers and networks have been used for some time in healthcare settings, they are still often tied to a specific, physical location, requiring the presence of the clinician to be used. Communication among healthcare workers in different areas often takes place via fixed telephones, because most hospital regulations prohibit the use of cell phones in many areas of the facility. For clinical professionals such as nurses and physicians – every moment they are tethered to a desktop computer or a fixed-wall phone is one moment they aren’t spending at the bedside with their patients or on the move to their next task. Increased mobility for these professionals means increased productivity."
