Responding to bedside alarms

Responding to audible alarms in single bed rooms

We are trying to establish if audible alarms in single patient rooms are heard by nursing staff, and the potential risk they may pose to patient safety.  This questionnaire is designed for completion by clinical staff.
1.What is your job title
2.In what country do you work?
3.Do you work in the public or private sector?
4.What type of location do you currently work in?
5.How many single bed patient rooms are there in the area in which you work?
6.For how long each day are the doors to single bed rooms kept shut?
7.For how long each day were single bed rooms kept shut before COVID-19?
8.How do you monitor for audible alarms in single bed rooms?
9.Have there been instances where bedside alarms have gone unheard and not responded to?
10.What is the potential impact of not hearing a bedside alarm? (please select all that apply)
11.Would a system that converts audible alarms to spoken notifications over corridor speakers and visual information to staff wearables and the nurses station be beneficial?
12.What data would you want to see as evidence to show effectiveness of an alarm relay system?
13.What barriers do you see to implementing such a system?
14.If you would like to be added to the prize draw, please give your name and email.  This will not be used for any other purpose other than to notify winners and will be destroyed at the end of the survey.
