The palm as a real-time wide-area data-access device.

Handheld wireless technologies offer great promise in helping to improve healthcare. However, it is not clear whether off-the-shelf wireless networking will work as well within medical centers as this technology works outside of the medical center. Therefore, we evaluated the coverage of wide-area wireless technology within two representative academic medical centers. The study determined the rate of connectivity by testing both the Palm VII and the Minstrel V modem in a set of locations typically frequented by house staff in their daily activities. Within one hospital, connectivity was 59% for OmniSky service, and 78% for Palm.net. The second hospital's connectivity was over 93% with both devices. Differences in connectivity were likely due to the number of rooms visited with externally exposed walls, the suburban versus urban location of the academic medical center, and the relative location of service transponders. When examined by the Johns Hopkins Clinical Devices Laboratory, both devices were found to operate without interfering with other hospital equipment.

Meeting the major threats to hospital security within a budget.

[Communication and teamwork in a modern hospital].

The problems facing a modern hospital, which mirror the crisis confronting medicine as a whole, are reviewed. In the search for solutions to these difficulties it is necessary to envisage the hospital in a larger context and examine the role it should play in society. And a comprehensive approach that takes into account all the different elements involved in the work of a hospital-administration, medical care, teaching, research-is fundamental. All teamwork presupposes certain dimensional factors such as organization, dynamics, and productivity. And each member of the health team must identify with the work of the group as a whole, providing for a degree of "realization of individual potential" which ultimately comes together with the primary goal-namely to work toward the health of the patient. The various forms of communication in the hospital, both between individual departments and between the members of each team that has a part to play, are also reviewed.

[Computer medical monitors: state-of-the art and perspectives].

The paper shows that the currently available Russian and foreign computer medical monitors (CMMs) may generally solve the simplest tasks of data visualization, recording, and archiving. It is justified that to enhance the "intellectuality" of CMMs, it is necessary to turn to the solution of the problems and tasks of medical monitoring, by using the whole range of methods for biosignal detection and processing, which has been accumulated in modern radio engineering, in the theory of communication, and in engineering and medical cybernetics.
