I-MEWS is a nationally agreed scoring system developed for early detection of life threatening illness in pregnancy and the postnatal period.
As well as the guideline, a patient information leaflet was also produced to promote improved safety in patient care and to empower patients to take greater control over their health and well-being whilst in hospitals in Ireland.
