Stories from the Field: Ensuring Critical Alarms are Heard
With Raajen Patel (EVP, Innovation & Client Engagement), Carol Morris (MSN, RN – Senior Clinical Engagement Specialist), Mishan Pils (EVP Business Development)
Imagine a state-of-the-art ICU where private rooms, while great for patients, muffle critical ventilator alarms. This was a real challenge a client faced until Sickbay stepped in.
In our latest discussion, Carol Morris from Sickbay shares how our vendor agnostic software platform swiftly integrated with their diverse fleet of ventilators. Sickbay solved a potential patient safety issue by ensuring alarms were relayed where clinicians could hear and act on them.
In addition to distributing audible alerts; Sickbay revolutionized their virtual monitoring, allowing immediate intervention and elevating care for vent patients to a new level. It’s a powerful example of how Sickbay adapts to clinical needs, no matter how they arise.
As Raajen notes, “If a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it…” – the same applies to critical patient alarms.
