The most suitable option would be to visit the 485-bed acute-care community hospital utilizing the same vendor's equipment and services. This will give the steering committee a realistic view of what the implementation and operation of the wireless system would look like in their own hospital. Additionally, since the hospital is of a similar size, the committee will be able to assess the scalability and suitability of the wireless system for their hospital's needs. Visiting a hospital with a different vendor or a different size may not provide an accurate representation of the system's capabilities or limitations.
