Wireless hand-held computers offer several advantages in comparison to nonwireless systems and paper charts. Hand-held computers facilitate the organization and assignment of workload and the fulfillment of physicians' orders, and improve documentation. Documentation of patient as-sessment then becomes immediately available to other members of the health care team in the hospital information system. Moreover, by comparison, computerized documentation is more legible.
