1 RECOGNISING AND RESPONDING TO EARLY DETERIORATION OF ACUTELY ILL PATIENTS ON THE WARDS Presented by Primary Health Care Team 2013/2014
2 Aims of Session
3 Any patient in hospital may become acutely ill, however, the recognition of acute illness is often delayed and its subsequent management may be inappropriate.. This may result in late referral, avoidable admissions to critical care and may lead to unnecessary patient deaths, particularly when initial patient care is suboptimal. NICE, 2007, Acutely ill patient in hospital
4 The NICE Clinical Guideline makes evidence based recommendations on the recognition and management of acute illness in hospital NICE, Acutely ill patients in hospital
5 The More recent NPSA (National Patient Safety Agency) Nov 07. Recognising and responding appropriately to early signs of deterioration in hospitalised patients. Explores patient deterioration and helps NHS staff working in hospitals to improve patient safety.
6 Andrew Dillon chief executive of NICE states; We welcome this report as a further contribution to improving patient care in this area.
7 Patient Centred Care Treatment and care should take into account a patients individual needs and preference. Good communication is essential, supported by evidence based information to allow patients to reach informed decisions about their care.
8 Key Priorities for implementation Physiological observations recorded at the time of admission or initial assessment. A clear written monitoring plan that specifies which physiological observations should be recorded and how often.
9 Key priorities cont d Physiological observations should be recorded and acted upon by staff who have been trained to undertake these procedures and understand their clinical relevance. Education and training should be provided annually to ensure staff have these competencies and should be assessed to prove this, (link nurses).
10 Early Warning Score ASSESSMENT TOOL 0-3 (GREEN) 0-3 (or patient causing concern) (AMBER) 4-5 (or patients causing concern) (AMBER) 6 or above (RED) Confirm score Confirm score In hours contact Health Centre or Ward Doctor Out of hours contact Duty Manager Repeat review by Doctor / Health Centre if Early Warning Score remains above 4 or is increasing 3333 For immediate transfer to hospital via 999 ambulance.

21 Feed-back from staff questionnaire Over all feed-back was excellent. Staff found the training helpful and constructive as part of their mental health role. Depending on staff s position at ward level or within HSS, some were resistant to participate in the training as they felt it wasn t part of their role

25 Audit and Quality Control of A1 Physical Observation Recordings Jan/Feb/March 2014
26 Effectiveness of EWS at Ward Level Staff are utilising the tool regularly to bring awareness of physical health changes: i.e. patients that are acutely unwell. Early intervention and appropriate referrals have occurred in accordance to the assessment tool. However, as part of routine monitoring of physical health observations (A1 forms) abnormalities are only routinely highlighted through audits and quality control measures that are in place. Not always actioned at time of recording.
27 What next We are aware more work still needed: Offering further support and 1:1 training Staff competencies Making EWS a standing item on Link Nurse training High-light trends through graphs, data collection and audits Wards where errors regularly occur contacting ward mangers to address staff training issues and accountability
