Today’s Solutions: March 29, 2024

There’s always work to do in hospitals, day and night. But with the hustle and bustle happening during night hours, patients have trouble getting adequate sleep. This has a huge impact on their recovery. This may be common knowledge, but hospitals have not yet come up with good solutions for this problem. But in the past few months, a few of them have been making changes, CNN reports. At Yale hospital, staff is working at reducing unnecessary wake-ups, using strategies like letting nurses re-time when they give medicines to better match patient sleep schedules, changing when floors are washed or giving nurses checklists of things that can and should be taken care of before 11 p.m. And at Boston-based Massachusetts General Hospital, there are now so-called “quiet hours” in place. Let’s hope these hospitals set an example for others.
