title: New uses for wireless technology.
abstract: Clinicians stay connected with tools that offer real-time data, including personal digital assistants, patient care robots, network voice communication badges, and telehealth. Using this technology, clinicians will soon be able to access the patient's entire electronic health record at the point of care. Although the hardware and the software are evolving, many solutions are currently available.
