GENERATING INFORMATIVE ALARM NOTIFICATIONS TO IDENTIFY PATIENT NEED AND DATA QUALITY

摘要

Methods and graphical user interfaces are provided for generating alarm notifications. For each of a plurality of patients, an alarm hotspot may be detected in near-real time. An alarm hotspot is detected using indications of alarms issued by devices that monitor a patient in a hospital setting. Once detected, the alarm hotspot is analyzed, in near-real time, so as to identify that one or more interventions are available for performance by a clinician. An action may include a clinician changing a lead, tuning a monitor limit, undertaking an intervention that addresses a physiological or non-physiological aspect of the patient that triggered an alarm, or a combination thereof. Then, alarm hotspot information and the identified action are communicated to a clinician in near-real time using an easily consumable notification.

1. A computer-implemented method for generating visual or audible alarm notifications at a clinician endpoint in real time, the method comprising:
for each of a plurality of patients:
detecting an alarm hotspot, wherein an alarm hotspot includes one or more indications of a monitor alarm issuance;analyzing the alarm hotspot in near-real time; andcommunicating, in near-real time, a notification of the alarm hotspot to the clinician, wherein the notification indicates one or more changing a lead, tuning a monitor alarm limit, and an intervention, are available to the clinician.
