9 Steps To Improve Clinician Mobility eBook

On a hospital campus or in outpatient clinics, mobile clinicians typically access data over a wireless LAN through strategically located access points. In the community, home-health workers, emergency-services personnel and other mobile clinicians access data networks using air cards from cellular carriers.

Introduction

In a hospital or out in the field, maintaining continuous connections can be a challenge. Medical centers harbor “dead spots” for coverage such as long hallways, stairwells, elevator shafts and hidden obstructions. Cellular coverage can be spotty due to man-made obstacles, reflective surfaces, varied terrain and tower distribution.

When clinicians enter no-coverage zones, the network connection drops, open applications hang or crash, and physicians and nurses are forced to re-log in to the system and may need to re-enter lost data.

This eBook from NetMotion Wireless takes a look at mobile authentication, encryption, application persistence, inter-network roaming, policy management, network access control, quality of service, device management, and analytics & notifications.
