Idea Status:
Add a cover to the code blue / staff assist lights in each patient room. This will prevent visitors and cleaning staff from inadvertently initiating a Code Blue. When a Code Blue is called there is significant mobilization of resources and increase in staff and visitor stress levels. Preventing false alarms would save resources by preventing the Code Team from having to drop what they're doing in order to respond. This would also improve productivity as a false Code Blue is stressful and disrupts the work flow of everyone involved.
