Summary

The documentation of vital signs is traditionally performed manually when the patient is not admitted in intensive care units, which can lead to documentary errors, long time for data acquisition and, consequently, impairment in the early identification of possible clinical deterioration. In-bed technology solutions are available to automate the collection of vital data and transfer information to a medical record or central electronic monitoring and its role in the health value chain needs further investigation. The investigators propose to evaluate the impact of the Connex Spot Monitor solution Welch Allyn (CSM / Hillrom) in conjunction with the Hillrom Connecta solution in a real world situation, conducting a cluster randomized trilal in wards of a tertiary hospital. In addition, this study aims to estimate the clinical effectiveness of a technological solution that performs an analysis of vital signs and automatically activates the rapid response team (RRT) when the pre-defined criteria are met, comparing it with the traditional manual method. The primary outcome is the number of times that the RRT fires in a timely manner.

Conditions

  • Inpatient Facililty Diagnoses

Interventions

DEVICE

Hillrom

Hillrom Connecta solution will record vital signs in an automated way, without the need for human intervention, and activate TRR activation when at least one criteria is met. The frequency of monitoring vital signs will be defined based on the MEWS score.

OTHER

Control

Hospital usual care regarding vital signs collection and TRR activation.
