Charting a Course to Quiet

The paper shares the findings of The Noise Project, a joint research study between The Beryl Institute and Making Hospitals Quiet. Over 240 responses were gathered from hospitals across the United States with participants answering questions such as: · What processes are hospitals putting in place to address this priority issue? · How are they structuring their efforts? · Where in their facilities are they focusing their attention? · What kind of success are they realizing?” In addition to offering insights on what U.S. hospitals are doing to address the issue of noise and encourage a quiet hospital, the paper shares best practices to address this critical topic as a key component in providing a positive patient experience.
