    Automated early warning scoring
    Rapid response to clinical deterioration with early warning scoring

    Do your caregivers have the information they need to identify subtle signs of patient deterioration early? The indications of a patient’s clinical instability typically occur six to eight hours before an event.

     

    An automated early warning scoring (EWS or MEWS) solution can help you identify the subtle signs of deterioration that can indicate a potential serious adverse event (SAE) and automatically re-check those warning signs, using Philips reassurance measurements, to determine if a notification needs to be sent to the appropriate caregivers. By reducing the need for manual record keeping and associated manual scoring calculations, automated EWS can help you identify patients at risk, reduce response times and put time back on your side.

     

    Early detection of patient deterioration (and appropriate notification of caregivers) gives you more time to respond and plan appropiate intervention. EWS can support this. Automated EWS can support making this easy. Ask us about automated early warning solutions for your hospital.

    Success in implementation

    Why EWS? Consider the facts

    63%

    of preventable deaths are attributable to failure to rescue by a registered nurse or physician.2

    Problem: It’s hard to predict which patients to watch closely

    Solution: IntelliVue Guardian EWS helps you identify subtle signs that can indicate a potential deterioration

    70%

    of cardiac patients show evidence of respiratory decline within eight hours of cardiac arrest3

    Problem: An MD is notified only 25% of the time4
    Solution: IntelliVue Guardian incorporates respiratory measurements into EWS to initiate timely intervention

    150k

    in-hospital cardiac arrests annually in the U.S.5

    Problem: Most deteriorating patients are identified within 15 minutes – often too late to intervene
    Solution: EWS tools can support improving the effectiveness of your Rapid Response Teams (RRT)

    patient care

    Accurate assessment and consistent reporting of respiratory rate is extremely important to detect patient deterioration early. However, manually measuring respiratory rates can be  time consuming  and overwhelming6.
