We started with a peer to peer network, with myself, the physicians assistant, and the medical assistant using laptops in the exam rooms. We have had very good experience with wireless laptops, speed is about the same as wired, basically no issues here. I like the flexibility of the laptop, I can literally have it on my lap, facing the patient, as I take the history, or I can turn it 180? and show the patient the screen. Plus, if the patient is a real talker, I can go through other messages, refill request, and so forth while they are talking.
