Impact of a modifield early warning score on raoip response and / Parrish, William M in MEDSURG, Vol.26 No.1 (Jan-Feb) 2017 ([04/26/2017]) 

Public ISBD No review available on this record. [article]  inMEDSURG > Vol.26 No.1 (Jan-Feb) 2017 [04/26/2017] . - p.16-19 Title : Impact of a modifield early warning score on raoip response and : cardiopulmonary arrest call in telemetry and medical-sugical units Material Type: printed text Authors: Parrish, William M, Author ; Dudjak, Linda, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: p.16-19 Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Medical Surgical Units.Cardiopulmonary Arrest Calls.Early Warning Score.Telemetry. Abstract: Conclusion. Although autors expected RRT call would increase in number following electronic MEWS implementation a notable decrease occured. The small number of call during the pre and post implementation period made it difficult to draw conclusion. No change in numbers was noted for cardiopulmonary arrest call. Before implementation of the electronic MEWS system however the project facility did not have a formal early warning system to guide cliniciand in decision making regarding activation of the RRT. Why the project revealed information useful to facility and system leaders in determining the future of the electronic MEWS system ongoing evaluation of the system is needed. Development and implementation of a formal quality improvement process for collecting evaluating and benchmarking data will be instrumental in this evaluation. Additionally more evideance is needed on staff culture education and hospital policy surrouding implementation of an electronic MEWS to determine if its use impact patient outcomes.
