Prior studies have looked at NEWS performance in predicting in-hospital deterioration and death, but data are lacking with respect to patient outcomes following implementation of National Early Warning Score (NEWS). We sought to determine the effectiveness of NEWS implementation on predicting and preventing patient deterioration in a clinical setting. Retrospective cohort study Tertiary care academic facility and a community hospital. Patients 18 years of age or older hospitalized from March 1, 2014 to February 28, 2015 during pre-implementation of NEWS to August 1, 2015 to July 31, 2016 after NEWS was implemented. Implementation of NEWS within the electronic health record (EHR) and associated best practice alert. In this study of 85,322 patients (42,402 patients pre-NEWS and 42,920 patients post-NEWS implementation) the primary outcome of rate of ICU transfer or death did not change after NEWS implementation, with adjusted HRs of 0.94 (0.84, 1.05) and 0.90 (0.77, 1.05) at our academic and community hospital respectively. In total, 175,357 BPAs fired during the study period, with the BPA performing better at the community hospital than the academic and predicting an event within 12 hours 7.4% versus 2.2% of the time, respectively. Re-training NEWS with newly generated hospital-specific coefficients improved model performance. At both our academic and community hospital, NEWS had poor performance characteristics and was generally ignored by frontline nursing staff. As a result, NEWS implementation had no appreciable impact on defined clinical outcomes. Refitting of the model using site specific data improved performance and supports validating predictive models on local data.
