We’ll help you create a solid foundation of essential knowledge that can be built upon and expanded in the future. Users will explore products for critical insights into maximizing clinical potential.
Excessive non-actionable alarms in the ICU can quickly escalate to adversely impact good patient care. This ‘alarm fatigue’ results in frequent disruptions, staff stress, unnecessary workload, and inadequate reaction to critical alarms. Our alarm management program can help you regain control. Working with your ICU team we’ll help improve efficiency and restore patient/staff satisfaction.
Following successful implementation of recommendations, positive results can be seen, as demonstrated by these aggregate findings:
This whole process raised our consciousness about the importance of alarm
