Sounds of 3 AM
Hear your ward's night the way patients heard it, then make it quieter.
The job
Turns patient complaints about night noise and unanswered call bells into an hour-by-hour soundscape for each ward. It serves as evidence for quiet-hours fixes and night staffing, then checks that nights got quieter.
The moment
Patient complaints about night noise and unanswered call bells are turned into sound, hour by hour, for each ward. The chief nursing officer plays the night on Ward 4B.
A call bell rings on and off for almost a minute: the waits described by 212 patients, compressed into one night.
With the patients' words alongside, the case for an extra night nurse is approved.
Eight weeks later, the chief nursing officer plays the before and after nights side by side, and the after night is far quieter.
Call-bell mentions are down 71%, from a sample of 188.
