Patient safety is one of the major concerns for all healthcare organizations across the spectrum, creating a demand for personal emergency safety alarms. Personal safety alarms will assist in reducing the risk of patient falls. If a patient needs to remain in bed or in a chair, personal safety alarms will alert nursing staff if the patient attempts to walk away. However, though the personal emergency safety alarms are highly proficient in alerting nursing staff when patients attempt to wander off, the personal safety alarms will not be set off if the patient merely readjusts position.
Recently the Joint Council on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) put into effect new standards requiring healthcare organizations to create a culture of safety. These standards were based on a rigorous review of reported sentinel events, thus establishing a new set of patient safety goals.
These goals are intended to reduce the risk of injuries, accidents, and many mistakes in clinical and surgical situations, one being the use of personal safety alarms. Nursing staff will greatly benefit from the implementation of such personal emergency safety alarms as their practices will have a large impact on these new standards of patient safety and the outcomes of care. Nurses, by the very nature of their professional knowledge and skill, are vital resources to every healthcare organization. When it comes to risk management, the microscope is put on the quality of their work – the quality of care they provide. The success of a healthcare organization is usually credited to the practice of the physicians and surgeons where the brunt of an organization’s mistakes is typically laid upon the veritable shoulders of the nursing staff. Yet, with nurse-to-patient ratios so critically low in every healthcare organization and hospital in the U.S., it’s virtually impossible for a patient to be monitored at all times by someone in the nursing staff. That’s where such alarms as vital signs monitors and personal emergency safety alarms enter the matrix. These alarms can take up the slack in the absence of trained medical professionals:
