Problem: Overnight vital sign monitoring cause impaired sleep in patients

Poor sleep quality of patients in a hospital is a big issue. Researchers have noted that ~50% of the patients report experiencing insomnia. According to a study done in 2017 [1], short-term consequences of sleep disruption include:

  • Increased stress responsivity
  • Reduced quality of life
  • Emotional distress
  • Mood disorders
  • Other mental health problems; cognition, memory, and performance deficits

Since patients admitted to hospitals already have a compromised immune system, these consequences could be more severe for them.

Rest is crucial to a patient’s care. It has been well-documented that disrupted sleep is a common complaint that could delay discharge and recovery.[3]

The overnight vital sign monitoring is a significant cause of impaired sleep in patients.

Routine vital sign assessments occur every 4–5 hours for medical and surgical patients regardless of patient acuity.[2]

According to previous research, targeted reductions in overnight vital sign measurements and medication administrations could result in improved patient experience by fewer sleep interruptions.

With that being said, there is no standard method of determining which patients can skip vital sign measurements.

Until now…

With that said, I also wrote another story on Evernote in November of last year — Has Evernote Made A Comeback After Years Of Stagnation? This was the time when Ian Small and his team were making inroads into the technology and strategically making enhancements and revamping the app across all platforms. Evernote Is At A War-front And Wants To Prove A Point. I must h ave written this in my earlier blogs but just to re-iterate — I have been and am an avid user of Evernote since 2009 and is a part of my life for planning my daily life, projects, content writing, and almost everything.
