SUMMARY:ECRI - Combatting alarm fatigue: Strategies for optimizing y
	our telemetry monitoring implementation

DESCRIPTION:\n	Telemetry monitors are patient-worn devices that allow th
	e patient's heart rate\, heart rhythm\, and other physiologic conditions t
	o be assessed without restricting the patient to a bed. These devices allo
	w cardiac patients to move around the facility while still being monitored
	. Monitors are designed to transmit an alarm signal to nursing staff if th
	e patient develops a concerning heart rhythm or other condition that requi
	res attention. The safety and effectiveness of a telemetry monitoring prog
	ram depends heavily on the organization's alarm management strategy. Any f
	ailure to recognize or delay in responding to a potentially life-threateni
	ng change in the patient's condition could lead to severe harm.\n\n\n\n	As
	 with any physiologic monitoring system\, healthcare organizations must sc
	rutinize all aspects of how telemetry alarms are initiated\, how they are 
	communicated\, and how staff respond. The use of inappropriate alarm setti
	ngs or notification processes can prevent staff from learning about a chan
	ge in the patient's condition or may lead to frequent false alarms or nuis
	ance alarms that overwhelm\, distract\, or desensitize staff—a phenomeno
	n known as alarm fatigue. Either situation can result in valid alarm condi
	tions being missed by staff\, and thus a patient's deterioration going unn
	oticed.\n\n\n\n	Improvements in the way that telemetry systems are impleme
	nted and managed can help combat alarm fatigue and reduce the risk of alar
	m-related adverse events.\n\n\n\n	During this lab webcast\, we will discus
	s:\n\n\n\n	\n		Alarm fatigue: what it is\, why it is a concern\, and how t
	elemetry implementation decisions can contribute to this hazard\n	\n	\n		C
	riteria for selecting patients for telemetry monitoring\n	\n	\n		Policies 
	and procedures for setting and disabling alarms\n	\n	\n		Alarm escalation 
	processes and secondary alarm notification systems\n	\n	\n		Strategies to 
	optimize the monitor watching function\n	\n\n\n\n	Register for the webcast
	\n\n\n\n	The webcast will take place at 12:00 ET\, 17:00 BST\n\n
