A Vision for Patient safety
FirstDO NO HARM
SecondTHROUGH INACTION ALLOW A PATIENT TO COME TO A HARM*
*Failure to rescue a deteriorating patient.
‟Developing and adopting a standardised early warning
system will be one of the most significant developments in
health care in the next decade”
Professor Derek Bell, chair of the NEWS educational subgroup
‟There is nothing nurses and doctors should prioritise more
than patient safety, and this system, if implemented across the board, will be a great leap
forward for patient care. ”
RCN director of nursing and service delivery, Janet Davies
‟ Many changes in health care are incremental but this new
National Early Warning Score has the potential to transform
patient safety in our hospitals and improve patient outcomes, it
is hugely important”
Professor Bryan Williams, chair of the working party
‟One consistent theme throughout almost all of the organisations reviewed was
the management of complex deteriorating patients and the monitoring of Early Warning Scores. The basic failure of observation at ward level
gives rise to multiple problems following on from
this, most notably for some of the organisations an increase
in renal failure and nosocomial pneumonia.”Keogh Report 2013
‟Nurse staffing levels and skill mix will appropriately reflect the caseload and the severity of illness of the patients they
are caring for and be transparently reported by
trust boards.”
Keogh Report 2013
‟All trusts should rapidly embed the use of an early warning system and have
clinically appropriate escalation procedures for
deteriorating, high-risk patients - in particular at
weekends and out of hours. Commissioners and regulators
should seek assurance that such systems are in place.”
Keogh Report 2013
‟6,000 deaths could be
prevented by using the
National Early Warning Score”
One study carried out by a trust found a 43% error rate in Early Warning Scores when using a paper based method for
data collection.
Another Study by Mohammed, Hayton, Clements, Smith and Prytherch demonstrated 40% error rate
A safe ward requires patients to have
the right observations taken at the right time
and with the appropriate staffing and
skill mix based on patient acuity and
dependency.
Our solution recognises the need for a holistic approach to observations
that takes into account patient acuity and staffing.
Electronic recording of observations ensures the right observations at the right time and our integrated
acuity based model ensures there is the right level of staffing and skill mix
to perform these observations.
Lower Hospital Standardised Mortality Reduced Length of Stay Increased level of compliance and transparency Improved Accuracy Reduced Nurse Sensitive patient safety incidents Reduced cost.
