Wireless mobility gives doctors and nurses better, faster access to patient information from almost anywhere inside a healthcare facility. The promise of enhanced patient care and reduced treatment costs must be achieved within requirements for privacy and security. A wireless system can provid doctors and nurses the abitilty to be connected anywhere in there hospital with either their laptop, DPA or VoIP Phone.

A VoWLAN (Voice Over Wireless Lan) systems will also speed up the response time to attending patients throughout the hospital. Many of the VoWLAN systems on the market today will integrate with nurse-call systems, providing enhanced features such as direct call back to a patient’s room or forwarding a call to alternate staff when needed. Healthcare organizations can also design the VoWLAN system to have calls from a patient’s bedside buzzer or room phone go directly to the nurse assigned to that patient for that shift.

Providing direct phone links to mobile staff improves the environment for patients, as well. Overhead paging systems typically broadcast into rooms as well as corridors, disturbing patients' rest and recovery. Hospitals estimate that these paging disruptions happen every 10 minutes, so moving more communications onto VoWLAN calls significantly improve the patient recovery by reducing noise in the hospital environment.

A solution which is available today is the Vecera Communications System.
