Quiet hours are usually implemented through a combination of policies and environmental modifications. Some common strategies include:
1. Reducing Noise Levels: This may involve lowering the volume on intercoms, alarms, and medical equipment. 2. Dimming Lights: Adjusting lighting to create a more restful atmosphere. 3. Staff Training: Educating staff about the importance of maintaining a quiet environment and encouraging them to speak softly. 4. Visitor Policies: Limiting the number and duration of visits during quiet hours to ensure minimal disturbance.
