Description
The sound of a fire alarm is stressful in any situation. However, in a health care facility, the noise creates additional stress that can be harmful to the patient. The introduction of private mode alarm systems can alleviate this unnecessary stress by notifying only staff in the affected area. This session will enable you to-
• Explain the impact that acoustics has on patient care and safety, based on current research, to justify the use of private mode fire alarm systems in critical care units.
• Develop a tool, using information on best practices, to help determine the impact adoption of private mode fire alarm systems can have on noise levels.
• Apply the information presented to the design of critical care units that optimize the patient experience and improve delivery of patient care.
• Discuss strategies, as demonstrated in the presentation, for gaining support from senior staff for use of private mode fire alarms.
