Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust has flagged issues in the way that real time recording of observations from sepsis patients are captured on its electronic patient record (EPR).
Sepsis is a life-threatening medical emergency which…
An article in Nature Medicine caught my eye this week. It examined the results of a tool that looks at real-time data for patient deterioration. These kinds of tools have been under evaluation for…
