2 in 3 isn't such a terrible false positive rate.

If your home alarm caught one real burglar per each three occassions it triggered, I bet you wouldn't develop alarm fatigue. I certainly wouldn't.

Do you get burglars multiple times a day? I bet not...

    Yeah, but potential death of a patient is on a similar level of seriousness.

      Most of those alarms will warn about trivial everyday results, that may (with rather low probability) cause death down the line. My bet is they'd get mostly ignored very quickly.
