Launch of National Clinical Guideline: National Early Warning Score
This National Clinical Guideline: National Early Warning Score clearly sets out how to recognise and respond to patients whose condition is deteriorating. This guideline has been designed for adults in acute hospitals and is based on international evidence of what is known to work best.
The guideline was developed through the collaborative work of frontline clinical staff, patient groups and key patient safety experts led by the Acute Medicine Programme of the HSE.
The Minister commended the Acute Medicine Programme of the HSE in being to the forefront internationally in this patient safety initiative and on Ireland being the first known country to agree a National Early Warning Score.
