Laboratory alerts to guide early intensive care team review in surgical patients: A feasibility, safety, and efficacy pilot randomized controlled trial

Improving care quality through nurse-to-nurse consults and early warning system technology

“…Integration of lab data in conjunction with physiologic variables can increase early RRT activation and lead to fewer subsequent RRT activations. 6,7 Early warning systems that generate data from the electronic medical record (EMR) can provide nurses with real-time updates on patient condition. 7 When nurses can visualize patient changes, it promotes critical thinking and improves the timeliness of RRT activation.…”

The Relationship Nurses' Knowledge and Implementation of Early Warning Score (EWS) In Critical Patients at Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital

“…Research in Australia states that one of the causes of the failure of EWS implementation is human resource error. This is because the implementation of EWS has not become a habit or culture for nurses in hospitals and is perceived as an additional workload (7). However, the results showed that nurses lacked the knowledge and skills to recognize the patient's health condition and that the nurse's decision making was different from the EWS procedure so that it would be bad for the patient's health (8,9).…”
