Team-Based Intervention to Reduce the Impact of Nonactionable Alarms in an Adult Intensive Care Unit.

Background: Nonactionable alarms comprise over 70% of alarms and contribute a threat to patient safety. Few studies have reported approaches to translate and sustain these interventions in clinical settings.

Purpose: This study tested whether an interprofessional team-based approach can translate and implement effective alarm reduction interventions in the adult intensive care unit.
