Factors Contributing to the Growth of the Clinical Workflow Solutions Market

Market Drivers

Imperative to Reduce Alarm Fatigue and Improve Clinical Alarm Safety

The foundational driver of the clinical workflow solutions market is the imperative to reduce alarm fatigue and improve the safety of clinical alarm systems, a recognized patient safety hazard. Physiological monitors and other devices generate a high volume of alarms, a large proportion of which are false or clinically insignificant, and the resulting alarm fatigue causes clinicians to miss, ignore, or disable alarms, contributing to patient harm. The Joint Commission published a Sentinel Event Alert on alarm-related patient deaths and injuries and established Clinical Alarm Management as National Patient Safety Goal 06.01.01, requiring accredited hospitals to make alarm system safety a priority and to establish policies and procedures for managing alarms, and alarm hazards have recurred on the list of top health technology hazards published by patient safety organizations. Clinical workflow solutions address alarm fatigue by intelligently filtering, prioritizing, and routing alarms and alerts to the right clinician on a mobile device, escalating unanswered alerts, and integrating alarms with communication so that clinicians receive actionable, contextual notifications rather than an overwhelming volume of undifferentiated alarms. As hospitals seek to comply with alarm safety requirements and to reduce the patient harm and clinician burden of alarm fatigue, they adopt the alarm management and communication solutions that clinical workflow platforms provide. The regulatory requirement and the patient safety imperative to manage alarms sustain demand for clinical workflow solutions across the forecast period.
