"SHHH…..Silent Hospitals Help Healing." In an effort to support a quiet healing environment, AdventHealth Shawnee Mission has established a daily one-hour window of quiet time. The hospital's Quiet Time for Healing program instructs staff members to dim the lights in hallways and rooms for one hour of silence for patients and staff in the afternoon. Hospital associates typically use the time to catch up on charting and other administrative tasks, while patients are invited to enjoy a period of uninterrupted relaxation. Patients are still permitted to chat with visitors, watch television or enjoy a relaxation video but are asked to keep noise to a minimum in order to preserve the low-stress environment.
