The war on noise at the Clinique Saint Vincent in Besançon
Noise is omnipresent in the outpatient department: cell phones ringing, telephone conversations, instructions exchanged in the corridor, equipment noise, etc. At the Clinique Saint Vincent in Besançon, the outpatient surgery unit team took an interest in the issue and organized an audit to assess the impact of noise on staff and patients. The results were clear: noise irritates and increases fatigue. So, for a whole week in June 2016, the ambulatory surgery unit team declared war on noise pollution.

This system has won unanimous approval among catering staff: less handling, less transport, less household waste.
