Patientrack MPOC 2010 Part 1

Sam Hollander and Dr Steve Jones
M.D of Patientrack Ltd

The recording, recognition and response to the acutely deteriorating hospital patient has been a longstanding patient safety concern and "track and trigger" systems have been recommended by NICE to assist in the early detection and referral of these patients. Numerous strategies have been used to try and implement these recommendations, often without success. CMFT developed and conducted a historically controlled trial of an IT application (Patientrack) that accurately calculates Early Warning Score (EWS) and alerts the appropriate responder. This referral continues until the patient improves. This work has demonstrated improved patient safety gains and reduced risks to patients. Sam Hollander will talk about the genesis and context of the Patientrack system.

Dr Jones MD, MRCP, FRCSEd, FCEM will discuss the trial within Central Manchester Foundations Trust, its results and the plans for deployment throughout the Trust.
