Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Early Warning Score (EWS) has been shown in previous studies to be correlated with mortality and mean hospital stay, but it is unknown whether the implementation of the scale improves mortality and mean hospital stay.

This trial aims to study whether the implantation of the EWS in a regional hospital reduces the mean hospital stay (primary objective), mortality and complications (secondary objectives).

For this, an open clinical trial will be carried out in which the hospitalization floors of the hospital will be administratively divided into two sections (two study branches); the EWS scale will be implemented in the computer equipment of one of the sections of each floor, acting the another section as a control branch.

All the patients admitted to the participating hospital floors during one year will be included in the study. The mean stay, mortality and complications will be compared between study branches.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

EWS

Early Warning Score will be implemented in the computer system of the nursing station

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

EWS

Intervention Type OTHER

Early Warning Score will be implemented in the computer system of the nursing station which belong to this intervention group. When the nurses enter the vital signs of the patients into the system, the EWS will be automatically calculated and an alarm will be displayed if an intervention is necessary, which is protocolized.

Control

Nursing supervision will be carried out in the usual way.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

usual clinical care

Intervention Type OTHER

Nurses perform their clinical monitoring activities as usual. EWS will not be implemented in their nursing station
