Managing Ventilator Alarms and Data

Bernoulli’s

Alarm management is constantly  evolving to meet the the needs of the hospital patients and clinical staff alike.

Using Bernoulli One™, the Hospital for Special Care (HSC) has empowered their clinical staff with real-time surveillance capabilities for more than 100 patients on ventilation support and has reduced the total number of ventilator alarms by an estimated 80%, helping achieve compliance with both Phase I and II of the Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goal on clinical alarm management, as well as the four associated Elements of Performance (EPs).

Jeanne and Connie’s byline on ventilator alarm reduction, based on our HSC case study, was just published in Advance Healthcare Network for Respiratory Care & Sleep Medicine.

Achieving Clinical Clarity from Ventilator Overload Case Study

HSC case study on achieving clinical clarity from ventilator overloadHSC’s Achieving Clinical Clarity from Ventilator Overload case study summary:

The Bernoulli One™ enabled HSC to achieve real-time surveillance of more than 100 patients on ventilation support and reduce the number of ventilator alarms by an estimated 80%, helping achieve compliance with The Joint Commission NPSG on alarm management. Bernoulli’s intuitive, intelligent software allows HSC’s team of RTs to provide continuous monitoring of vital patient information and intervene before a situation becomes critical, enhancing patient safety. The data collected is leveraged by Respiratory Care Services in reporting to the Performance Management Audit Committee, which monitors ventilator management performance, and also helps identify potential areas of need. The system also automates processes that were previously done manually, such as manual ventilator checks, which frees up the RT to focus more on the patient rather than the ventilator.
