Abstract

A method and system for printing medical labels. A hand-held, portable computer, a printer and a wireless data communication interface communicating between the computer and the printer are provided. Medical data are organized in the computer into predetermined type files and are preferably further organized into sub-files for presentation on a display associated with the computer. A user selects from among the files through use of the computer, preferably by touching the display. The computer communicates ultimately selected data to the printer and the printer prints the data on a label which is applied to a medical document.
