Abstract
Methods and systems for consolidating the workflow of various devices into a wireless, voice-enabled workflow. A method includes establishing a connection between a wireless, voice-enabled device and a data system using an interface and accessing the data system using voice commands via the connection between the wireless communication device and the data system. Voice commands may be used to facilitate data acquisition, data retrieval, order entry, dictation, audio playback, voice over IP conferencing, paging, and/or data analysis, for example. A plurality of connections may be established between the wireless, voice-enabled device and a plurality of data systems. WiFi wireless technology or other standard for voice and data transfer between devices without use of cables, for example, may be used to facilitate hands-free hygienic, centralized operation of a plurality of data systems using the wireless, voice-enabled device and the interface.
