Cellphones are good for your health

A study at Yale Medical School found that mobile phones reduce hospital medical errors. Specifically, they determined that it is better for doctors to communicate with cellphones versus pagers. Via Engadget.

This makes a lot of sense: when a team is trying to communicate in a timely, efficient manner, it should use the richest communication medium available (Media Richness Theory, Daft & Lengel). Asynchronous pagers don't cut it!
