Early reports are the terrori$ts have struck again:
"Boston Medical Center has dramatically cut down on unneeded alarms from patient monitors, providing a national model for other hospitals as new safety rules on “alarm fatigue” take effect Jan. 1.
Nurses’ desensitization to incessantly beeping alarms — hundreds of alerts a day, many false — is a national problem. It is blamed for dozens of deaths each year, as overwhelmed staff fail to respond with urgency, or at all....
That is why I always say give the nurses whatever they want, unless you want an angry nurse caring for you.
--more--"
Oh, sorry, another false alarm. I'm sure Obummer care will fix everything.
