Mobile technology in a clinical setting.
Wireless technology can offer clinicians access to the latest patient data when they are located outside of the hospital campus. It allows physicians to be more effective with their time by enabling a new method of delivering clinical information, thus improving patient care. Imagine being stuck in traffic, or at a conference in another state, when a call comes in for the patient's latest lab results. With a wireless handheld device, and a web-based application, the physician can access this information in minutes.
