Alarm Fatigue – Nurses – Case Managers – CRC – CDMS – NASW – CEUs

# data[].attributes.body
The phrase "alert fatigue" refers to the process by which busy workers (in the medical field, physicians) become desensitized to safety signals and, as a result, disregard or fail to act correctly when such warnings are given. This situation arises due to the overwhelming volume of warnings, which is further exacerbated by the fact that the vast majority of alerts produced by CPOE systems (and other healthcare technologies) are clinically irrelevant, which means that doctors should typically disregard them. The issue is that when this happens, practitioners disregard both the warnings that are inconvenient and clinically worthless as well as the crucial alerts that signal potential catastrophic patient harm. Essentially, the profusion of alarms that are meant to boost safety actually has the counterintuitive effect of increasing the likelihood that patients may be hurt. Despite receiving little attention before the broad adoption of electronic medical records, alert weariness is now acknowledged as a serious adverse effect of the computerization of health care and a risk to patient safety.

Gamification is most frequently used in health and wellness initiatives that deal with telehealth, self-management, medication adherence, and disease prevention. Since the goal of healthcare gamification is to increase patient involvement by personalizing their experience, it is fundamentally highly patient-centric.

What does telehealth mean?

Telehealth — sometimes called telemedicine — lets your health care provider care for you without an in-person office visit. Telehealth is done primarily online with internet access on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.

There are several options for telehealth care:

Talk to your health care provider live over the phone or video chat.

Send and receive messages from your health care provider using secure messaging, email, secure messaging, and secure file exchange.

Use remote monitoring so your health care provider can check on you at home. For example, you might use a device to gather vital signs to help your health care provider stay informed on your progress.
