The printing technology (dot matrix, inkjet, laser, etc) doesn't normally limit its use, but each printing technology has specific characteristics which may prevent, or promote, use of a given technology in a given application or environment.
Dot matrix printers are fairly noisy printers and may thus be unsuitable for use near patients. However, dot matrix printers can create carbon copies, and are thus often preferred over more modern technologies such as inkjets or laser printers.
Assuming the printer can be places such that the emitted noise doesn't impact patients, a dot matrix printer may be the perfect solution even in a hospital, for example if a single printout should produce multiple copies (e.g. one for the patient's files, one for the nurses' records, etc...).

Why are some printers called dot-matrix printers?
Because the dot matrix (impact printer) fires pins (9 pins or 24 pins) against an inked ribbon to print dots on paper.

Does an hp inkjet work better than matrix dot printers?
Well according to hewlitt packard technicians, they think their inkjets are a little bit better than matrix dot printers. I would have to agree with them.
Differentiate line and dot matrix printer?
A line printer and dot matrix printer differ in how they print pages. Line printers are more commonly used with computers, while dot matrix printers function similarly to a typewriter.PrintingA line printer print pages exactly as its name implies, one line at a time. Dot matrix printers use pins arranged in a matrix that physically strike an ink ribbon between the pin and the paper to print characters.SpeedLine matrix printers can print roughly 1,200 lines per minute, or generally about 20 pages per minute. Dot matrix printers print about 40-300 characters per second, or about six to seven pager per minute, at best.QualityDot matrix printers have a lower print quality than line printers. The characters' shapes on pages printed using a dot matrix printer appear as a number of dots connected together. Line printers print solid characters and can use a wide variety of font face and sizes.
