Wireless laptops are considered a mobile solution that can offer providers mobility and connectivity outside of the traditional clinic. However, mobile solutions require connectivity and security. In order to gather data for a proposal for wireless laptops, I would look at the research for wireless security issues. I would look up what platforms work through wireless means.

Clinics have to take into consideration the physical security of the equipment and the security of the information. It is important that all clinics are able to maintain privacy and safeguarding of patient information at all times. Then, wireless connectivity and compatibility should be researched to see if the idea is feasible and cost friendly. I would utilize experiences from other organizations to see the best approach to going wireless.
