Alarm fatigue has become a real danger in hospitals.
Alarm fatigue isn’t a new thing, but it has become even harder to combat during the Covid-19 Pandemic.
According to the American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN), research has demonstrated that 72% to 99% of clinical alarms are false. Such false signals lead to a longer response time, decreased patient satisfaction, and a stressful work environment.
When inconsequential alarms are coming from multiple devices, appropriate responses to true alarm conditions can be undermined. That’s a serious patient safety concern.
When it comes to safety, we have solutions you can trust. Here’s why Fukuda is the right partner.
Our Clinical Application Specialists here at Fukuda have years of experience working alongside hospitals, helping design successful alarm management strategies and procedures. With our complimentary onsite educational support, Fukuda is the ideal partner in the fight against fatigue.
