SHM Converge 2024
Background: Although hospitals should be a place of healing and restoration, multiple studies demonstrate that hospitalized patients face acute sleep deprivation due to potentially modifiable disruptions (vitals, medications, tests). Acute inpatient sleep deprivation is also associated with worse health outcomes both in-hospital and post-discharge. While staff-directed sleep interventions show benefits, no study has tested whether […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Routine patient care including vital signs checks, lab draws, medication administration, during the night contributes to the already disturbed sleep of inpatients. This study aimed to assess the performance of automated risk scores to stratify the risk of an overnight deterioration to better inform letting low-risk patients sleep and more intensively monitoring and/or intervening […]

SHM Converge 2024
Background: Poor sleep is common in hospitalized patients due to multiple factors, including disruption of the circadian rhythm. Greater exposure to natural light for hospitalized patients has been associated with improved outcomes, including increased survival in acute myocardial infarction. Few studies have examined programmable artificial lighting systems in hospital patient rooms, and few have achieved […]
