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.
