KEY PROBLEM
Patient harm due to lack of recognition and appropriate management of the deteriorating patient was repeatedly identified in:
Root Cause Analysis for serious adverse events
Clinical Incident reviews
Review of patients after cardiac arrest or inpatient transfer to ICU 2
The Health Roundtable
KEY CHANGES IMPLEMENTED
Multidisciplinary working party developed:
Standardised minimum observations General Observation Chart incorporating Modified
Early Warning Score (MEWS) Escalation protocol using MEWS score to trigger
review by clinical team ISBAR communication tool Medical Emergency Team (MET) criteria and
participants Education of Medical and Nursing staff (COMPASS –
ACT Health)
December 2009 MET and MEWS commenced3

SUMMARYThe simultaneous introduction of MEWS and MET resulted in: A low “dose” of MET callsPatents transfers to ICU post arrest/MET call
Reduced in 2nd year of implementation Progressive reduction in LOS (40%)
Improvement in hospital mortality
Underpinning this result: Compliance with observations and MEWSEarly escalation when deterioration occursRapid medical review by the home team
