Early warning alert scores based on clinical and physiological data have been shown to be predictive of risk of decompensation in patients in the emergency department (ED). However, the effect of using these systems to influence patient outcomes in the ED has been difficult to ascertain consistently. Part of the difficulty in comparing previous studies are the various systems chosen and faulty implementation models. The unique coupling of our automated system with the vital sign-based National Early Warning Score score helped to reduce delay and error in the attempt to identify and stabilise decompensating patients. Our study demonstrates that using an automated decision support surveillance and alert system to trigger alerts for ED patients reduced both adjusted hospital mortality and hospital length of stay.
