Instructions for Use
Acknowledge
You can acknowledge that you have reviewed the alarm. Your name is added to the
patient's timeline as having reviewed the alarm.
Snooze
You can acknowledge that you have reviewed the alarm and then pause any further
reminder signal generation for a period of time. That period of time is selectable by a
selection box. This then provides you time to review the cause of the alarm. If the patient
subsequently triggers another alarm, this will still lead to alarm signals.
The snooze times available are configurable by your local operating institution.
Your name and the amount of time you have paused the alarm for will be added to the
timeline (described in section 8.6) for other users to see.
Silence
You can acknowledge that you have reviewed the alarm and then silence any further
reminder signal generation. The alarm will remain active until is silenced. You should only
silence an alarm once the cause has been dealt with. Note that if the triggering event for the
alarm occurs again, the alarm will be generated again.
Your name and the inactivated state will be added to the timeline.
Notify Another User Role
This function allows you to notify another user group of the alarm. You are given the option
to select the role you wish to notify in a selection box. All On-Duty users within this user role
group then receive alarm signals.
7.7 Adding Notes
You can add a textual note to the patient's timeline. This note is then shared with all other
members of your operating institution with access to Current Health, when they view that
patient's timeline.
To add a note, simply select Add Note on the interface.
7.8 Reminder Signals
After an alarm signal for an alarm is sent, reminder signals may be sent if the alarm is not
acknowledged and then paused or silenced (see section 8.4).
Whether reminder signals are sent and the frequency with which they are sent will depend
on your local operating institution. These are configured by the local operating institution. If
you would like a reminder signal to be sent or to change the frequency with which they are
sent, please discuss with your local operating institution.
