Abstract :
The healthcare providers are always on the move, and they need to have real-time access to the patient information, to stay at the pulse of the medical technology. The wireless mobile technology provides the care giver with the critical patient information which must be more secure and reliable for patient diagnosis and treatment procedures. As a result, the healthcare organizations are under increased pressure to streamline their operations through wireless authentication and encryption technology, in order to maintain the highest level of data security and privacy of the patients.
