Digital INEWS Ward 8D
Digital INEWS VSA went live on ward 8D on the 27th of June. This patient safety project migrates from an INEWS paper-based system to a digital INEWS ‘track and trigger’ tool.
It allows the clinical staff at the nurse’s station to have oversight of all patient INEWS scores and vital-signs on a single screen. The status of each patient (based on score) is presented in an easy to assess, colour-coded format with time remaining until next INEWS recording clearly visible on screen. It can assist clinical staff in the detection of, and response to, the clinically deteriorating adult in-patient and identify acutely unwell patients in acute hospitals leading to improved patient outcomes.
Benefits include:
Thank you to everyone involved that helped implement this important patient safety initiative.
