What it is

Every vitals entry computes the early-warning score in the open; threshold crossings page a named responder and start a response clock the ward board shows until someone arrives. Flap watch keeps a free flap after surgery on the surgeon’s own order — the flap, how it should look, the check interval, the hours and who is on call (none ships): each check records colour, capillary refill, the Doppler signal and turgor against that baseline, and a check not as expected needs what was done and who was told and rings the surgeons at once instead of waiting for the next round. Overdue checks lead the flap board; a ward phone screen makes an as-expected check one tap.

How it works

Chart the six observationsRespiratory rate, SpO2, temperature, systolic pressure, heart rate and consciousness — alert, new confusion, responds to voice, responds to pain or unresponsive — with a tick for supplemental oxygen; NEWS2 is charted only on an open admission.
The score comes back computedThe component points, the total and the band are worked out by the service and the schema audits the arithmetic — the total against the sum of its parts and the band against the total.
A worsening band opens an escalationA band of low-medium or worse opens one, and a partial unique index keeps it to one open escalation per admission rather than one per set of observations.
The bell stops honestlyClose escalation needs a responder and a response note saying who reviewed and what changed; an escalation is responded to once, and the response clock on the board is computed from when it opened.
Read the stay’s risk without a third calculatorOpening a row shows the NEWS2 trend beside BedsideRisk’s own Morse, Braden and Padua banding — neither is recomputed here, because a second calculator would be a second answer to the same question.

Rules it keeps

What it does not do, by design. A listing with only benefits is an advertisement.

It does not let a high score be acknowledged without a bedside review entry.

Questions clinics ask

What does EarlyWarn do?

NEWS2/MEWS/PEWS from charted vitals, with response clocks — and free-flap watches. Every vitals entry computes the early-warning score in the open; threshold crossings page a named responder and start a response clock the ward board shows until someone arrives. Flap watch keeps a free flap after surgery on the surgeon’s own order — the flap, how it should look, the check interval, the hours and who is on call (none ships): each check records colour, capillary refill, the Doppler signal and turgor against that baseline, and a check not as expected needs what was done and who was told and rings the surgeons at once instead of waiting for the next round. Overdue checks lead the flap board; a ward phone screen makes an as-expected check one tap.

What data does EarlyWarn read and write?

EarlyWarn reads observations and writes scores, escalations, flap watches and checks. Its data class is Full PHI. Every app works on the same patient record — nothing is copied into a silo.

What does EarlyWarn deliberately not do?

It does not let a high score be acknowledged without a bedside review entry.

What happens to our data if we uninstall EarlyWarn?
