From the Paper:

"Wireless devices have been around for some time, but they have only recently begun to see use in hospital settings. This is largely because of the convenience factor that they have and as hospitals have realized that they are helpful for many aspects of patient care, they have been increasingly interested in utilizing them for that purpose. The problem with getting doctors to use this technology is that they are so used to the way that things work now that they often do not want to make changes that might end up having an adverse impact on what goes on in their interactions with patients."
