Case Study: Hospital for Special Care achieves continuous surveillance and 80% fewer ventilator alarms with CapsuleTech

Hospital for Special Care - Customer Case Study

Hospital for Special Care (HSC), a long-term care and rehabilitation facility, struggled with more than 100 ventilators spread across multiple units that generated thousands of mostly non-actionable alarms each day. The constant noise and frequent false alerts forced respiratory therapists to race between rooms, disrupted patient recovery, and raised concerns about alarm fatigue and patient safety.

HSC implemented Capsule (formerly Bernoulli) Surveillance to capture real‑time ventilator and pulse oximeter data, filter non‑actionable alarms, automate ventilator checks and ADT feeds, and integrate measurements into the Allscripts EMR. The solution reduced ventilator alarms by 80%, cut clinicians’ documentation burden, improved triage and accountability, delivered typical response times under 34 seconds, and eliminated ventilator-related serious patient safety events since deployment.
