The US Food and Drug Administration has reported over 500 alarm-related patient deaths in five years. However, these efforts have not been developed in a coordinated way across the continuum of education or across professions of medicine and nursing. Quality improvement projects have demonstrated that strategies such as daily electrocardiogram electrode changes, proper skin preparation, education, and customization of alarm parameters have been able to decrease the number of false alarms. ECRI Institute. The standards include education of both staff and licensed independent practitioners. Simulation-based activities can help with such a goal through research and training. American College of Clinical Engineering Healthcare Technology Foundation (AHTF) In 2004, the ACCE Healthcare Technology Foundation started an initiative to improve clinical alarms. Alarm fatigue is sensory overload when clinicians are exposed to an excessive number of alarms, which can result in desensitization to alarms and missed alarms. The Healthcare Technology Foundation began an initiative to reduce clinical alarm hazards in 2004. xڜSmo�@�+��B�ro�E�*�ٺѮZ The second phase of this goal was effective January 1, 2016.

An evaluation follows this exercise. More recently, the ECRI Institute identified alarm hazards as the number one device-related risk on its 2008 list of top 10 health technology hazards. Despite the Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goal 06.01.01 requiring hospitals to establish alarms as a priority and then to develop and implement alarm management policies and procedures, alarm fatigue continues to plague healthcare facilities. The student is challenged to understand the complexity of alarm response as well as the safety implications for patient care.
