You can do several things to alleviate this situation:

1. You can set your wireless transmitters to broadcast on a specific
channel (1 through 11, most default to 6). Set the receiving equipment
to the same channel
2. Enable SSID's, WEPS, and additional security on your devices. HARD
CODE IT IN THERE. If you are not doing this anyway, you are violating
HIPPA standards anyway. As long as the transmitting and receiving
equipment share a specific SSID, then your equipment will ignore any
other signals.
3. Find the setting on your receiving equipment that changes it from
"look for strongest signal" to "use this specific signal" (see 2 above)
4. IANAL, but I believe FCC regulations prohibit individuals and
organizations from transmitting signals that interfere with other
individuals and organizations use of the same public frequency. Call the
FCC on your neighbor.

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Wireless Connections Being Lost

======================================

We are a Magic 5.4.2 site and are in the process of going wireless in
approximately a month.  We have just discovered a problem and would like
to
know if anyone else has found a resolution to this issue.  We are in the
center of our city and our next door neighbor is the University of
Wisconsin.  We are loosing our wireless connection because the signal
coming
from the university and another wireless vendor in town is coming
through
our building and is stronger than our own signal.  Our wireless hardware
is
looking for the strongest signal and attempts to pick up on theirs thus
aborting our connection.  It does not get a handshake and thus comes
back to
our signal but by then our Meditech connection is lost along with the
documentation we have completed to this point.  Any assistance on this
would
be greatly appreciated.  Software, Hardware, Settings, etc anything!!!!!
