Medical professionals are constantly on their feet and require the ability to securely access patient information, communicate with colleagues, and locate lifesaving equipment. WLAN technology has the potential to reduce life threatening medical errors and improve the quality of service. With Aruba mobile edge, hospitals now have a solution that can be utilized to support all of their mobile clinical data and voice needs on a single network.

The benefits of mobility in the delivery of healthcare services are readily apparent. Doctors and nurses spend most of the time on their feet working in teams to ensure the health and safety of patients. The ability to quickly alert staff and obtain medical information from any location within a hospital is mission critical.

This demand for mobility in healthcare operations is evident in the fact that hospitals and medical practitioners were among the early adopters of paging and cordless PBX technologies. A shortage of nurses has amplified the need for increased productivity. In addition to productivity enhancements, wireless capability is viewed as a critical component of an overall strategy to reduce medical errors and save lives.

802.11 WLAN technology has emerged as the preferred method to enable mobility for healthcare applications. The wide adoption of the standard has resulted in the availability of a diverse set of cost effective wireless enabled client devices, e.g. laptops, PDA’s, phones, RFID Tags, bar code scanners.

Location tracking is the ability to find the physical location of a wireless devise inside a facility. Hospitals have used wireless asset tracking to keep track of objects like beds and wheelchairs, expensive equipment or even staff and patients.

This is done by placing an RFID tag on an object and then being able to view where the object is at all times.

Proximity policies can be set up on individual tags which can be programmed to set off alarms or notify certain people when the policy is broken. This can be used to indicate when a patient has been taken to the wrong department, when an expensive piece of equipment has been taken off site without authorization or even when a member of staff or patient is in an area that would represent a security breach.

Multiple sites can be connected and each site would have the ability to view one another. For example, if you were looking for the nearest unoccupied incubator for instance, you would be able to see which site has one available.

The possibilities are endless and their value is immense.
