In this silent hospital, patients are getting better faster
Hospital wards are often noisy, even during the night, which negatively impacts patient recovery times. In the UK, the Silent Hospital Pilot Project, a collaboration between the NHS and DNV Imatis, is implementing a new approach on an antenatal ward.
The project replaces traditional nurse call bells with alerts sent directly to staff members’ mobile phones. This innovation leads to better-rested mothers and newborns, faster recovery periods, and more efficient patient care.
