Designed to alert caregivers to changes in a patient condition and can save lives
An estimated 85 percent to 99 percent of alarms in healthcare facilities don’t require clinical intervention. Because of this high percentage of insignificant alerts, clinicians can develop alarm fatigue, which can result in them tuning out these notifications and missing the alarms that truly signal a patient’s critical medical crisis.
Monitor alarms are designed to alert caregivers to changes in a patient’s condition and can save lives. However, as the number of alarms encountered by clinicians daily rises, it has become difficult for caregivers to distinguish between clinically significant alarms and nuisance alarms. As a result, alarm fatigue has become a serious issue, which puts patients at risk.
