University of California San Francisco (UCSF) researchers are working to help combat alarm fatigue among clinicians, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
The team is attempting to design on a smarter clinical alarm to prevent false alerts.
The work on a new "super alarm" was spurred by the results of a UCSF study that found that there were 187 audible alarms per bed per day in its intensive care unit, with a false-positive rate of more than 88 percent for arrhythmia alarms.
UCSF’s researchers are developing a device to aggregate disparate data, capture trending patterns and filter out false alarms.
