Monitoring technology is evolving constantly. We provide answers to the most common questions to help the industry understand how monitoring technology can protect your people, facilities and assets.

Any condition, any environment, any challenge.

The finest names in healthcare turn to Sonicu to improve safety, compliance readiness and staff efficiency. 

Monitoring Sound in the NICU

Loma Linda University Children's Hospital (LLUCH) had been struggling with noise in its NICU for many years. With the advent of HCAHPS studies, it became apparent that the noise problem had become hospital-wide.

The extra sound would cause stress to children and their families, making them feel uncomfortable in an already challenging environment.

Unwanted noise proved difficult to measure accurately and difficult to manage. Hospital leaders had tried many options to curtail noise and improve customer satisfaction surveys with few sustained benefits.

Neonatologist and Infant Developmental Specialist, Raylene Phillips, MD, knew that research had documented the detrimental effects of noise on premature infants.

The noise was created by the hospital staff, parents and visitors, mechanical and medical equipment, maintenance, housekeeping, and numerous other sources.

With no way to consistently and accurately monitor the noise, Dr. Phillips often had to resort to being the "Sound Cop" who personally reminded staff, parents, and visitors to lower their voices or take their conversations away from the babies' bedsides.

 

Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital

Loma Linda University Children's Hospital and Medical Center is a Seventh-day Adventist medical institution coeducational, Health Sciences University located in Loma Linda, California, United States.

The Children's Hospital includes an 84-bed Level IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

The NICU currently provides to 800+ babies, and the Children's Hospital provides to over 12,000 children each year, providing these babies and children an environment that helps calm and soothe their stress and pain.

These environments are essential for children and mothers of Loma Linda, California.

Loma Linda University provides heart care, neurological care, and general pediatric care so that families know that their children are safe and healthy.

Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital tries to help those families with these issues, by treating the children in their hospital with the best equipment and best care possible.

Hospital With NICU MonitoringLoma Linda University’s Children's Hospital is just one of many hospitals that Sonicu helps with on a daily basis. Sonicu prides itself on its excellent customer support and being able to fix any issues our customers are having, ensuring the protection of their equipment and the monitoring of their facilities. With Sonicu, many hospitals, just like Loma Linda’s have been helped with protection and monitoring needs. Sonicu protects hospitals from excess sounds, protects temperature-sensitive environments, and notifies our customers when an issue arises. Sonicu's Smart alarms notify hospital staff immediately of an issue, and because of our built-in methods made for getting around alarm fatigue, it is guaranteed to help your staff overcome issues with ignored alarms.

Remote Monitoring and Advisement System Needed

Sonicu performed a needs assessment to determine the best method for Dr. Phillps's team to address their noise problems. We found no noise monitoring system in place; hospital personnel was using their ears to determine who was and wasn't being loud.

This was not an accurate or consistent way to monitor their hospital and control their sound levels.

Dr. Philips and her team could not completely monitor their hospital because not everyone could be everywhere at one time, not being able to secure an accurate report on the sound on each floor.

This method severely limits what her team could do to counteract the issue of too much sound, especially when they did try to monitor and control the amount of sound, they would be causing more issues with sound to accomplish it.

There was also no visual means of providing real-time unbiased feedback to those in a room regarding the noise level.

This obstructed Dr. Phillips and her staff from being able to see where the issue was coming from, only being able to try and hear out the problem.

But in a hospital, not only is this near impossible, but it also causes problems for the staff, as well as the patients.

The excessive noise in the facility was a serious problem that had detrimental effects on the youngest and most vulnerable patients; the NICU especially had serious issues.

With Sonicu’s Smart Alarms, these issues can be dealt with quickly and quietly. Our smart alarms include alerts like:

  • Emails
  • Texts
  • Phone calls
  • Push notifications

These messages are quiet, not adding to the sound of the hospital; they are quick and efficient, immediately informing Dr. Philips and her team of the issues at hand.

This allows them to decrease the sound that is causing the issue and be able to calm the families on the floor that is being affected.

It also eliminates the need for large alarm systems that only add to the sound in the hospital, helping to provide a better, safer environment in hospitals, just like Loma Linda Children's Hospitals.

Monitoring, Measuring, and Managing for a Safer NICU

Sonicu provided over (60) wireless Sound Indicating Meters (SIMs) for installation in LLUCH NICU. All SIMs were programmed to broadcast their data to Sonicu’s cloud-based server, SoniCloud, via a cellular gateway.

The many benefits of this type of deployment enabled Sonicu to completely pre-program all devices before shipment and bypass the hurdles often involved with having to be supported by the hospital network.

Sound data is now available 24/7 via any web-supported device. Meaning any phone, laptop, iPad, or device that can receive wifi can observe this data.

Whenever there was an issue within the hospital, Dr. Phillips, and her team were notified immediately of the issue and they could act on these issues without a loud alarm going off.

Summary reports are delivered weekly via email and keep Dr. Phillips and the NICU staff up to date on sound level trends for individual rooms and the unit as a whole.

Monitoring noise levels has never been easier. With truly actionable intelligence, Dr. Phillips is finally able to determine the effectiveness of interventions to reduce sound levels in the NICU.

Loma Linda Children's Hospital

 

Peace of Mind for the Families of Loma Linda Children's Hospital

“Parents appreciate the sound monitor light indicators because it is easy to see when the noise level is too loud. Even our staff is noticeably quieter. Sonicu has definitely been a positive culture change in our hospital. Thank you Sonicu for helping us to create a quiet healing environment in our NICU.”
- Raylene Phillips, MD


Success with the system proved significant enough to merit additional installations in other areas of the hospital.

Nurse stations and even hallways are all quietly and positively being changed for the better. This saves families from an uncomfortable environment when staying in a hospital.

The families that Dr. Philips and her staff look after going to Loma Linda for excellent health care, but they also go there for peace of mind knowing that they are in good hands.

When constant sound disrupts these families or Dr. Phillips's staff, issues can arise that will just cause more disruption.

A NICU, especially, needs to be quiet enough so that an infant, a newborn baby, can be cared for and monitored without the distress and noise of unnecessary alarms.

With Sonicu’s help, Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital was able to find and eliminate the issue of sound within their NICU, providing a much quieter, and safer environment for both staff and patients.

With Sonicu, the hospital became more effective in completing tasks and making it easier to find disturbances and bring relief to uncomfortable patients.

NICU Monitoring Testimonial

 

 

Martha Rardin - Hendrick Hospital Nutrition Director“I like to say that every refrigerator or freezer is like a car in that they all behave a bit differently, and then every now and then you just get a bad boy who doesn’t want to perform as we need it to. Sonicu has been a powerful tool to identify which units are behaving out of spec and get our team to fix them before we have a serious issue.”
Martha Rardin, Director, Nutrition and Dietetics, Hendricks Regional Hospital.


Tim Livesay - Hancock Regional Hospital Pharmacy Director“In the current era of supply chain challenges, tossing drugs is more than a financial loss. Healthcare leaders can no longer predictably rely on suppliers to be able to replenish supplies with the same just-in-time predictability that existed prior to COVID-19.”
Tim Livesay, Director, Hancock Regional Hospital Pharmacy Director
