Lemos aqui que, "Healthcare workers rely on a constant flow of information in order to manage their patients effectively", mas no passado "this information may have been delivered to each ward through a single computer station, which is cumbersome, time-consuming, and takes valuable time away from monitoring and caring for patients".
Diz no mesmo sítio, "There are also benefits in reducing paperwork and needless human traffic. Less time is required inputting notes and more time available to spend with patients. E ainda, "There are benefits relating to decision support and computer-assisted medicine".
E o que é tudo isto: é "Wireless communication refers to conveying information via the electromagnetic spectrum, as opposed to transmission by a wire or cable".
Mas, como em tudo na vida, tem contras: "As the use of mobile wireless equipment by healthcare providers, patients and the public continues to increase, concerns of potential EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) with life-critical medical devices has also increased, prompting many hospitals to establish broad precautionary policies banning mobile phones and other wireless equipment from the entire facility".
