Automated Documentation of Vital Parameters Using Mobile Stations and Activation of the Rapid Response Team
- Conditions
- Inpatient Facililty Diagnoses
- Registration Number
- NCT04648579
- Lead Sponsor
- Hospital do Coracao
- Brief 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.
