The landscape of hospital design and patient care is rapidly evolving. As we approach Global Dignity Day on the 16th of October, there is a growing emphasis on individual dignity in healthcare. One of the most evident changes in this regard is the shift towards single-bed hospital rooms equipped with en-suite bathrooms. These rooms offer improved privacy and respect for patient dignity. However, they also bring forth the challenge of potential bedside device alarms going unheard.
Healthcare is gradually becoming more holistic. Beyond medical treatment, the environment, privacy, and dignity play pivotal roles in a patient’s recovery journey.
Single-bed rooms with private bathrooms go beyond being just a luxury; they represent a dedication to a patient-first approach. They not only reduce infection risks and disturbances but also ensure privacy and uphold patient dignity.
The tranquillity of private rooms can sometimes mask the urgency of bedside device alarms, especially when doors remain closed for privacy. These alarms, designed to signal any changes or threats to a patient’s well-being, can go unheard, delaying vital response times.
The need of the hour is a solution that marries the benefits of single rooms with the necessity of safety. This is where BEAMS (Bedside Equipment Alarm Monitoring System) by Tutum Medical can be a game-changer. Designed to acoustically monitor and relay alarms, BEAMS ensures that even in the most private settings, alarms do not go unnoticed.
Global Dignity Day is a reminder that while we stride towards ensuring every individual’s dignity, we should not compromise safety. The harmonious integration of technology, design, and care practices can help us achieve this balance.
If you’re keen on ensuring the best for your healthcare facility and patients, consider integrating BEAMS. It’s more than a system; it’s a commitment to upholding dignity without compromising on safety.
