In this Silent Hospital, Patients Are Getting Better Faster
Hospital wards often remain noisy even during the night, which negatively impacts patient recovery. To address this, the UK has launched the Silent Hospital Pilot Project, a partnership between the NHS and DNV Imatis. The pilot tests a new system on an antenatal ward that replaces traditional call bells with alerts sent directly to nurses' and midwives' mobile phones.
This innovation has led to better-rested mothers and newborns, quicker recovery times, and improved efficiency in patient care.
