Doctors and nurses may use mobile computing to share vital information
on the patients.
They can have real-time access to clinical histories, treatments, lab
results, and update patient information right at their home.
Using a mobile computer doctors can sign and send medical orders on the
spot.
Pharmacy technicians can check data against the patient's online medication
profile, avoiding mistakes.
Emergency medical personnel can access important data about patients just
on an accident site, and they can transmit it in real-time to the emergency
room staff.
Mobile computers can also be used in hospital inventory management, asset
tracking and file management.
