Many significant life-improving and life-changing advancements in patient care and
medical research in the U.S. today are supported and enhanced by wireless technologies
in the clinical, hospital, and healthcare facility environments. BICSI professionals who are
keen on improving their knowledge and expertise in this area are wise to understand
specific systems, drivers, and applications that their clients are using to improve patient
care, efficiencies and outcomes.
Why wireless? Because wireless systems are pervasive in heathcare environments,
because wireless drives mobility, and because today's and tomorrow's wireless systems will
provide even greater speed, security, and functionality to drive medical innovation.
