PNWH utilizes a Phillips telemetry monitor, which includes the capability for monitoring 1,216 unique physiologic parameters. This results in the potential for over 2,400 alarms from a single piece of medical equipment, in addition to the alarms from other equipment frequently used in acute care, such as IV pumps, ventilators, fall/exit alarms, and bedside capnography. Alarm parameters for PNWH telemetry monitors are not standardized between hospitals, among service areas across the region, or within service areas at each hospital. Lack of standardization creates an additional safety risk for PNWH caregivers because there is not widespread awareness of the differences in alarm parameters between different clinical units and hospitals. 000009482 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009482 650__ $$aPatient Safety$$039887 000009482 650__ $$aClinical Alarms$$038756 000009482 650__ $$aMonitoring, Physiologic$$022405 000009482 650__ $$aTelemetry$$026809 000009482 650__ $$aChange Management$$012897 000009482 650__ $$aQuality Improvement$$039456 000009482 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000009482 7001_ $$aGillaspie, Marisa A.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000009482 8564_ $$9c3c9ab9b-dd6a-4081-95f7-2fa9b62eeba8$$s2915363$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9482/files/GillaspieAziz.Marisa.2022.pdf 000009482 905__ $$a/rest/prod/3b/59/19/33/3b5919334 000009482 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9482$$pstudent-work 000009482 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
