Doctors and nurses at Rhode Island Hospital are making use of Wi-Fi and VoIP system that allows them to access patient data, test results, consult expert sources and order procedures at bedside. Wi-Fi connects the Vocera units around the necks of nurses enabling them to communicate to each other hands free even while giving an injection to somebody. Patients and families can access the internet while they are in the premises of hospital and track critical pieces of equipment by locating their electronic tags. A combination of VoIP and Wi-Fi is being adopted because of the simplification it offers.
