Abstract :
It has been demonstrated that effective communications among specialists is essential in the delivery of high quality of patient care. A location-enabled VoWLAN service may further bring seamless connections for medical professionals to communicate and collaborate with each other efficiently. It greatly assists the locating relative professionals in hospital urgencies and delivering critical information to specific professionals. In this article, we proposed an enhanced Hospital Patient Care Call System (EHPC2S), which converges the voice and context information for the purpose of reducing medical errors and providing better hospital quality of service.
