Background: Patient safety literature has long reported the need for early recognition of deteriorating patients. Early warning scores (EWSs) are commonly implemented as "track and trigger," or rapid response systems monitoring acute patient deterioration. This study presents a human factors evaluation hospital-wide transformation in practice, engendered by deployment an innovative electronic observations (eObs) handover system. technology enables real-time information processing at...
Abstract Aims To investigate possible factors related to patient monitoring explain the higher mortality rates associated with after‐hours transfers compared daytime from critical care units wards. Background International research suggests that patients transferred have a rate than during daytime, although reasons remain unknown. Design A prospective exploratory study. Methods Twenty‐nine UK unit ward within same hospital for 10 weeks beginning April 2009 were 29 hours matched on...
