<unk>  or alert fatigue describes how busy workers (in the case of health care, clinicians) become desensitized to safety alerts, and as a result ignore or fail to respond appropriately to such warnings.<unk>  occurs in many fields, including construction and mining (where backup<unk> s sound so frequently that they often become senseless background noise), healthcare (where electronic monitors tracking clinical information such as vital signs and blood glucose sound<unk> s so frequently, and often for such minor reasons, that they lose the urgency and attention-grabbing power which they are intended to have), and the nuclear power field. Like crying wolf, such false<unk> s rob the critical<unk> s of the importance they deserve.<unk>  management and policy are critical to prevent<unk> .
