title: Wireless communications: a new frontier in technology.
abstract: Within the last 5 to 10 years, health care has seen a plethora of "breakthrough" technologies--client/server computing, multitasking, multi-user operating systems, E-mail, CD-ROM data storage, the Internet, etc. Now, a newer technology is coming of age. This point-of-care technology uses radio-based systems to transmit signals through the air without physical connections.
