Early Warning System for Clinical Deterioration on General Hospital Wards.

Washington University School of Medicine·interventional·Posted Jan 21, 2011·Updated Feb 14, 2018

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating EWS Nursing Alerts and Wireless Remote Sensor for Escalation of Care and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 20,031 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The goal is to develop a two-tiered monitoring system to improve the care of patients at risk for clinical deterioration on general hospital wards (GHWs) at Barnes-Jewish Hospital (BJH). The investigators hypothesize that the use of an automated early warning system (EWS) that identifies patients at risk of clinical deterioration, with notification of nurses on the GHWs when patients are identified, will reduce the risk of ICU transfer or death within 24 hrs of an alert. As a substudy, the investigators will pilot the use of a wireless pulse oximeter to establish feasibility and to develop algorithms for a real-time event detection system (RDS) in these high-risk patients.

Interventions

EWS Nursing Alertsbehavioral

An automated algorithm (EWS) will identify patients at potential risk of clinical deterioration. When a patient satisfies the algorithm, a nurse on the patient's ward will be notified. S/he will assess the patient and institute any interventions that are clinically required.

Wireless Remote Sensordevice

A subset of patients will be consented to wear a wireless sensor device which will monitor heart rate and level of oxygen in the blood.
