The ROI of reducing alarm burden
By reducing the alarm burden and wasted effort, a continuous clinical surveillance strategy supports hospitals and health systems financially recovering from the massive losses they have experienced due to the drop in elective procedures and preventive care visits. Clinicians’ experience improves—which promotes retention—and they can work more efficiently without risk to patient safety, as we showed in our OIRD research. Moreover, other research has shown that continuous surveillance techniques decreased rescue events to 1.2 from 3.4 per 1,000 patient discharges and intensive care unit (ICU) transfers to 2.9 from 5.6 per 1,000 patient days, which decreases hospital spending and can improve their financial performance under value-based care payment models.

Preventing transfers to the ICU also ensures beds are available for critically ill patients with COVID-19 as regional or state outbreaks are likely to continue through the fall, winter and beyond. By deploying continuous clinical surveillance strategy, hospitals can be better prepared for such spikes in cases while alleviating alarm burden and protecting clinicians caring for these patients and others.
