The healthcare environment naturally lends itself to wireless networking, given the inherently mobile nature of physicians, nurses, orderlies, and others who move from bed to bed or examining room to examining room, ministering to patients.

It also discusses the primary challenges health organizations face in their deployments and offers up solutions for successfully addressing them.
