Once a patient has been admitted to a particular ward, it is the responsibility of the Medical and Senior Nursing team to develop a monitoring system tailored to each individual patient in relation to their specific medical needs. The policy “Recognition and Response to Acute Illness in Adults in Hospital” outlines the responsibilities of all staff involved in the recording of physiological measurements (North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust 2012). The observations must be recorded in the in the Physiological Track and Trigger Chart, and carried out by other healthcare staff such as Healthcare Assistants at the intervals specified on this chart. The Physiological Track and Trigger Chart, utilises a system in which all measurements are given a score between 0 and 3, the higher the overall score is the clearer the indication of how unwell the patient is. This score is known as the Early Warning Score (EWS) and is used in order to ensure all staff can recognise and report when a patient is becoming more poorly.

The roles and responsibilities of a Unit Clerk on a Hospital client care unit Unit clerks are an important part of a hospital team. In this report, I will be discussing the roles and responsibilities of a unit clerk on a hospital client care unit. In Chapter 14 of the book “Administrative and Clinical Procedures for the Canadian Health Professional” by Valerie d.

In a hospital client care unit as discussed in the book, the clerical/ secretarial responsibilities include; managing the administrative components of admission, discharge and transfer, preparing and updating identity bracelets, bed labels and so on, orient new admissions to the unit, distribute client mail, and notify nurses of stat orders and changes in client’s care keep charts up to date and prepare forms. In my knowledge from class discussion and note taking however, some of the clerical or administrative roles of a hospital unit clerk include client registration, scheduling, billing, health card verification and more.
