I can think of a couple of things at least in the prehospitalmedial field. Bluetooth ekg machines are used to do documentation and needed to have their data sent to the hospital as fast as possible. Also Bluetooth scanners are used to scan drivers licenses and triage tags.

The less manual input a provider has to do, the better. Then they can spend their time making sure the patient is being taken care of.

Most ems documentation is done on web applications instead of desktop apps so it can work on anything from an iPad to a surface to a tough book.

You don't want to know how these things are hooked up today.

Those are... pretty darn good examples, actually. Thanks!
