As physicians increasingly rely on mobile devices to access patient health information, there is increased pressure for wireless networks in hospitals and other healthcare facilities to perform seamlessly. And it’s not just clinicians fueling the demand—patients and other guests expect to remain connected with the outside world, too.

This three-part guide explores the need for strong wireless network in healthcare facilities. First, contributor Stan Gibson takes a look at how hospitals have evolved from “wireless wastelands” into organizations that rely on constant connectivity to Wi-Fi networks.
