Wireless Is The Most Used Technology For Medical Facilities And The Advantages Of Wireless Medical Devices

One of the very good utilities of the hospitals network is the availability of the wireless access on the ward level, this will insure instant connectivity to the hospitals network from the small mobile devices such as laptops or other Wi-Fi based medical devices such as the new cardiograph devices which shares data with the database servers through wireless connection. These wireless devices depending on the diagram specifications are in 5 gigahertz frequency which are not compatible with every laptop computer, a recommendation to replace them with 2.4 gigahertz frequency devices are more efficient in order to allow laptops to access the network. A special attention is needed in the security of these wireless access points by connecting them to a server like RAS server to authenticate the personnel accessing the network wirelessly before allowing the devices to use the network. This is very important practice to prevent a destructive intrusion into the network.

In today’s generation technology is the key point in all of our lives. With all those new technological inventions a huge percent of those inventions refer to the medical field.

Technology is constantly advancing and improving the quality of life. An idea is presented and it becomes a solution to a problem. Technological advances in the health care field have improved the care given to patients, made diagnoses more precise, decreased surgeries times, and enhanced the medical field in so many ways that it can not be addressed in this one page paper.

To tackle these issues Bella has defined its third design principle of ‘ease-to-use’. This will make TKO weight 2 Kg. or less and one touch operating device so that physicians could handle it with minimum training. Indian villages still face electricity issues and Bella is will provide solution to this problem by giving battery operated device. Bella is addressing issue of unavailability of trained physicians with its fourth design principle ‘connectivity’. This design feature will help physician to transmit data wirelessly to cardiac speciality centres and work with general practitioners to diagnose the issue. Thus these four design principles will help Bella to address all the key issues of heart disease diagnosis equipments. In addition to the new wireless data transfer feature, Bella’s design team is exploring the possibility of adding DICOM feature in TKO. Even though DICOM feature is not critical in near future, it will help Bella to differentiate its product from GE’s similar product and will give upper hand in marketing the device.

In week’s three individual dissection of Patton-Fuller Community Hospital Networking Department, I will discuss three topics that will help with a better understanding of the Hospital’s Networking Department. During the first topic, a complete analysis will be completed on the network systems in use. While covering the second topic, discussion on what standards may be missing from the Hospital’s current network. During last topic, I will identify the Hospital’s wireless technology in currently in use and how it may enhance the hospitals network.

As consumers utilize smartphones, tablets, and other devices for other functions like social media and email, they are starting to look at these features to assist them with their healthcare. Mobile body area network devices will be a growing trend in the coming years as a way to get patients engaged in their healthcare and also to give providers routine updates on the status of patients with chronic conditions. As DeGaspari (2014) indicates, these devices can lead to improved functionality for other devices used in hospitals, such as sensors for monitoring patients that might get up and wander or be a fall risk. Telemedicine will continue to grow as payers, providers, and patients all start to realize the mutual benefits that can be

Basis interoperability refers to the standard data sharing (Blazona & Koncar, 2007). This standard includes clinical observation, laboratory, pharmacy, medical devices, imaging and insurance transactions. It also provides the exchange, management and integration of data that support patient care and care management, as well as the delivery and evaluation of healthcare services. Advanced interoperability consists of the uniform presentation of healthcare data, uniform user controls, and uniform protection of patient confidentiality. While developing the health port, the HL 7 standard package used was Clinical Document Architecture (CDA). This wireless system will help the nurses and other clinicians to communicate through text messages and pager alerts (Blazona & Koncar, 2007). By customizing the quality and type of message they receive, it is helpful for the nurses to avoid the unwanted alerts and messages through the new system. This wireless system enables the nurse’s greater mobility and thereby increasing their efficiency to take care of their patients.

Medical technology encompasses a wide range of healthcare products and is used to diagnose, monitor, and treat diseases or medical conditions that affect humans. This may included but not limited too, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and medical equipment. Such technologies are intended to improve the quality of healthcare delivered through earlier diagnosis, less invasive treatment options and reductions in hospital stays and rehabilitation times. Recent advances in medical technology have also focused on cost reduction. Medical technology may include medical devices, information technology, biotech, and healthcare services. The impacts of medical technology may involve social and ethical issues. For example physicians may seek objective information from technology rather than listening to subjective patient reports. A major contributor of healthcare expenditure in America is the advancement of medical technology. According to several studies it is shown that there is a correlation between the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP) and money allocated to healthcare. One of the leading theories is that medical technology is growing faster than expected.

The technology changed in medical history with the weight masser that was used later in the 18th century. It now helps nurses and doctors know how much kids and adults weight. Another big change that we still use today is the computer that was created between the years 1936 and 1938 by a German named Konrad Zuse. It now helps doctors determine what type of sickness a person has and what could cure it. The data consumption helps a nurse analyze a patient's report and file a patient's treatment

Nursing of the future builds on old technology and new innovations to continue to grow towards a common goal. Nurses are just starting to see some of the changes happening in their workplace. Laptop computers on wheels aka (Cows) have been implemented to make the recording of patient data happen at the bedside. Larry Flynn and Dave Barista (2005) reported that “Wireless networks allow nurses to continue the care to the patient and not the chart. This is where nursing informatics plays a key role in hospital based technology and implementation of such technologies.

This technological advancement facilitates the potential use of a \ac{WHTD} as a solution to relieve the burden on the health care system. The \ac{WHTD} refers to the devices which are capable of monitoring the physiological signs (e.g., heart activity, \ac{ECG}, \ac{EMG}, blood pressure, body temperature, oxygen saturation, etc.) of the human body and its surrounding environment (e.g., light, humidity, temperature, etc.) using a number of sensors located on or/and in the human body using \ac{BAN} \cite{movassaghi2014wireless,bangash2014survey,jovanov2011body}. This has been employed in various applications, such as military and sports training, \ac{HCI}, entertainment (interactive gaming), home and office automation, environmental monitoring, and \ac{VR}. It has also shown a tremendous potential as a personal healthcare system, which can provide services such as remote patient and elderly people monitoring, activity monitoring, rehabilitation, and disability assistance services as these devices can monitor health status seamlessly in real-time without disturbing users daily life. Consequently, major \ac{ICT} companies are introducing various wearable devices and services with Personalised Health Data management systems. Apple iWatch with HealthKit, Samsung Galaxy fit and Samsung Digital Health, and Google Fit are some of the

Networking and Communication could improve the overall level of health care in our community. In some cases, there are less patient participant involved in their health that leads to poor health because of language barriers, communication difficulties and cultural differences. Some mobile technologies have help to address various health care challenges like:

Finally, every floor has its own satellite pharmacy, dialysis storage, respiratory therapy workrooms, and resident doctor sleep rooms, making every floor nearly self-sufficient. The latest wireless technology has been installed so that the hospital is paperless, that is, it uses advanced communication technologies that provide both medical professionals and patient’s better access to relevant medical records and research data. Clinical staff has access to electronic patient charts at every bedside. Patients and visitors have wireless Internet access throughout the building. And, wireless digital technology makes it possible to boast a film-less imaging environment. At

In an era where we are required to travel to see our doctors and specialists; would you have ever imagined the return of a time where services or the physicians themselves would come to you without being forced? Telemedicine through Cellular technology has helped advance health and medicine by allowing health care professionals the ability to communicate with each other seeing real time images and allowing them to better collaborate on the patients’ medical condition.

This research paper is in regards to “The impact of Wireless Technology on Healthcare Quality Improvement”, which has been used and initiated in several setting however, this research will explore the setting within the hospitals and clinics.
