Résumé
Reducing environmental noise has become a priority for many health systems. Following a 10-week preparation period, our health system transitioned from an overhead-activated to a silently activated in-hospital code team notification system. The goal of this initiative was to reduce environmental noise and support code team communication and function without adversely affecting response time, provider availability, or key quality metrics. Transitioning from overhead to silently activated events involved a three-step quality improvement approach. Input from key stakeholders and preimplementation education were of key importance. Multiple timed trials and a full in situ simulation were completed before going live with the new process. Evaluation of 6-month pre- and postimplementation quality metrics showed no significant difference in compliance with defibrillating shockable rhythms within two minutes, event survival, or survival to discharge. Provider survey data and Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems "quiet at night" scores were not significantly different. By utilizing a multistep implementation approach, transitioning from overhead pages to a silently activated system for in-hospital code team activation was feasible and safe. Abandoning the overhead paging system did not lead to a decrease in key quality metrics nor impair team perception of code function.
