Detect and act on early warning signs of patient deterioration

Automatic monitoring of vital signs can quickly help identify signs of deterioration with the use of trusted algorithms and advanced analytics. An early warning score solution alerts nurses to deteriorating patients, which allows them to quickly respond to adverse events. Patient vital signs are automatically captured in one place to provide Early Warning Scores (EWS) and monitored at the central station. With EWS, clinicians can quickly identify patients at risk.

Powerful tools that empower the clinician

Being able to quickly recognize and react to the early deterioration signs of a patient’s condition is a must for any clinician. Our integrated suite of hospital monitoring devices, wearables, software and professional and support services helps clinicians identify subtle signs of patient deterioration by including features like automated respiration rate readings, automated data capture and configurable alerts that allow care staff to know when a patient may be at risk of decline.

Put time back on your side. And your patient's side.

  • Notifications are at the bedside: Display scores and recommendations with customizable EWS protocols show up right on the VS30 and the central station.
  • Surveillance capabilities allow access to data that aids in decision-making, which helps in making staffing decisions and establishing best practices.
  • The ability to identify and verify trends and significant deviations in vital signs allows clinicians to know immediately when a patient may be at risk of decline.

Your system, your way. The automated EWS software is easy to configure and manage.

  • Admissions and unit census
  • Staff and patient assignments
  • Multiple EWS protocols supported and synchronization with monitors
  • Paging workflow and escalation
  • HL7 export/import to/from EMR
  • Integrates with third party devices and systems through HL7 interface
  • Interfacing to the hospital lab data system
  • Pediatric EWS
  • Reporting and statistics

The early warning scoring system helps us better identify patients at risk and, most importantly, respond to those patients earlier
