1 New Monitoring Alarm Challenges and Opportunities for Collaborative Progress AAMI Alarms Summit October 4-5, 2011 Joseph J. Frassica, MD VP and Chief Medical Information Officer - Philips Healthcare

2 NEW MONITORING ALARM CHALLENGES THE ACUTE CARE FLOOR Joseph J. Frassica, MD VP and Chief Medical Information Officer - Philips Healthcare 2

3 Why would we want to monitor patients on the floor anyway? Melbourne: all critical events (cardiac arrest/death/emergency ICU admission) were preceded by warning clinical signs for an average of 6.5 hours MJA 1999; 171: Miami: Cardiac Arrests - 84% had instability for 8 hours prior to the event Chest 1990; 98: Chicago: Of 150 cardiac arrests 99 (66%) had documented instability for 8 hours prior to the event Crit Care Med 1994; 22: Rinaldo Bellomo Live patients are easier to resuscitate than dead ones personal communication 2011 Joseph J. Frassica, MD VP and Chief Medical Information Officer - Philips Healthcare 3
