Each ward is different.
That may well be a good idea, although I've observed that most visitors aren't that rambunctious and go by the patient's needs, and are also cognisant of others around them. Single or double rooms?
The biggest issue is the intrusiveness of patient monitors. Taking vitals, and checking in on the patients (which is why they're in the hospital). Fortunately many of the basic vitals can be monitored remotely.
