HOW SMART ALARM MANAGEMENT CAN DECREASE NURSING WORKLOAD AND IMPROVE PATIENT SAFETY

Course overview

In today's healthcare settings, nurses are inundated with alerts from monitoring devices, many of which are non-actionable. Alarm fatigue not only jeopardizes patient safety but also contributes to nursing burnout and inefficiencies in care delivery. This course explores the essential role of clinical alarm systems and provides a framework for implementing smart alarm management solutions. Participants will learn evidence-based strategies to reduce false alarms, improve response times, and enhance overall safety and workflow efficiency. The course is especially beneficial for nurse leaders, clinical informaticists and bedside nurses working in acute and critical care environments.
