These factsheets describe the patient deterioration recognition and response systems. There is a factsheet for senior clinicians and another for hospital executives.

Our six-monthly report on the harm prevented, and money saved, in areas the Health Quality & Safety Commission focuses on or raises awareness about.

This measurement guidance will support hospitals to implement their recognition and response system, monitor progress, and identify areas for continuous quality improvement.

This policy 'adult vital sign and early warning score measurement, recording and escalation', is provided as an example only and will need to be adapted to reflect expectations for local practice and processes.

This template forms part of the patient deterioration preparation and implementation guide, and will assist teams with the development of a project charter.
