Before a particular form of wireless communication is implemented within a health-care institution, consideration should be given to the system's capacity for transmitting voice, data and video information, as well as its reliability and coverage. An important associated choice concerns the best combination of user devices that will enable secure and rapid transmission of data to clinical staff at the point of care. Several technologies are available. No new technology that is likely to become available over the next five years will address the two main concerns of health service organizations: the need for non-interference with sensitive equipment; and the need for immediate communication of urgent messages. We therefore believe that health industries with a mobile workforce will gain five to eight years of useful life from cordless telephone systems and that paging or other radio-based devices will remain an important mode of communication for at least the next five years, especially where emergency communication is concerned.
在医疗机构中实施某种特定形式的无线通信之前，应考虑该系统传输语音、数据和视频信息的能力，以及其可靠性和覆盖范围。一个重要的相关选择涉及用户设备的最佳组合，这将使数据能够在护理点安全、快速地传输给临床工作人员。有几种技术可供选择。在未来五年内可能出现的新技术都无法解决医疗服务机构的两个主要问题：不干扰敏感设备的需求；以及紧急信息即时通信的需求。因此，我们认为，拥有流动员工的医疗行业将从无绳电话系统中获得五到八年的使用寿命，并且寻呼或其他基于无线电的设备在至少未来五年内仍将是一种重要的通信方式，尤其是在涉及紧急通信的情况下。
