| The Regents of the University of California San Francisco EIN 946036493 | CA | 501c3 | $50K | Arrhythmia alarms alert nurses to changes in a patient's heart rhythm, but the sheer number of alarms contributes to alarm fatigue, a known patient safety issue. Michele Pelter, RN, PhD, assistant professor and director of the ECG Monitoring Research Lab at the University of California at San Francisco, will lead a research team to analyze a large data set of annotated arrhythmia alarms to learn whether these arrhythmias have clinical significance or are associated with serious outcomes. Results will provide guidance to manufacturers to better define their alarms requiring action and to hospitals as they create policies and procedures to address alarm management requirements mandated by The Joint Commission. |

A nurse's work environment has the potential to moderate the harmful effects of nurse burnout. The study will use the AACN Healthy Work Environment model to explore how workplace environment standards relate to burnout and how burnout is related to nurse and patient outcomes. |
