Spot-check scenarios can be high-risk as well
Most inadvertent cases might actually be preventable
Why is it hard to identify deteriorating patients?
Infrequent, incomplete or incorrect vital signs data
No integration of spot-check data
How to improve the detection of patient deterioration?
To ensure the early detection of deterioration, the Early Warning Scores (EWS) were created to define the degree of patients’ illness based on their physiological and non-physiological parameters.
