In This Silent Hospital, Patients Are Getting Better Faster
Hospital wards are often noisy, even during the night, which can negatively impact patient recovery. In the UK, the Silent Hospital Pilot Project addresses this issue through a partnership between the NHS and DNV Imatis.
The project tests a novel system on an antenatal ward, replacing the traditional bells patients use to call nurses or midwives with alerts sent straight to staff members' mobile phones. This approach contributes to better-rested newborns and mothers, speeds up recovery times, and enhances patient care efficiency.
