Whitepaper: CMUs are Cutting Waste, Boosting Safety: Results From 3 Health Systems

Many hospitals still rely on outdated telemetry setups, overworked nurses doing “drive-by” checks, or systems flooded with 350+ daily alarms per patient.

These models lead to delays, over-monitoring, alarm fatigue and compromised safety.

This report shows why leading systems are rethinking the model with centralized monitoring units (CMUs) that scale across hospitals and support smarter staffing.

Key takeaways include:

  • The CMU model to reduce excess telemetry systemwide by 10%,
  • How to save 8 hours/day with technology, and
  • Health First’s approach to buying new technology and creating savings.
