What is a Patient Alarm?

Patients are at risk of falling when they leave their chairs or beds and especially take bath / shower. Patient fall and injury have been a major liability problem for healthcare institutions. In the past, patients assessed to be at risk for falls are either physically restrained or or sedated. Today’s healthcare environment demands the establishment and maintenance of a comprehensive fall reduction system. A patient alarm is designed to monitor these patients and to alert their caregivers when immediate intervention is required. It sounds an alarm to alert the caregiver when a patient gets out of bed or out of a chair so that the patient can be safely returned to that location. Use of physical restraints therefore can often be greatly reduced while patient dignity is enhanced.
