Silence the noise. Empower your staff. Ensure patient safety.
Constant alarms in a hospital can be overwhelming, leading to alarm fatigue, delayed responses and compromised patient safety. Alarm Management, powered by DNV Imatis, routes alerts intelligently based on live shift roles, so critical signals reach the right person promptly, turning a chaotic environment into a calm and efficient one.
Alarm Management prioritises critical alerts, filters out false alarms and provides clear visual cues. Nurses can access alarms, along with exact location and patient data, from their mobile devices, improving response times and reducing stress. This results in improved patient safety, a calmer environment and more focused staff. Alarms are prioritised based on severity, ensuring nurses address critical issues first, and configurable escalation chains ensure unanswered alerts are automatically forwarded to the next available team member.

Proven results:
The Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust has successfully implemented our Alarm Management system as part of their ‘Silent Hospital’ project, achieving a 50% drop in noise levels and a 12% increase in sleep quality. By reducing noise and improving staff efficiency, they’ve created a safer and more therapeutic environment which is conducive to patient recovery and wellbeing. The approach has since been extended to the Wheal Rose antenatal ward, including the Maternity Triage and Day Assessment Unit, as the Trust continues building calmer, safer environments for patients and staff.
