The evaluation of a statewide innovative patient safety improvement system on reducing hospital mortality and other adverse events - a population-based mixed-method study

研究表明，每十名住院患者中就有一人遭遇了不良事件。研究表明，不良的临床结果(例如，心脏骤停或死亡)通常表现出早期预警信号，如生命体征在此类事件发生前几个小时缓慢恶化。新南威尔士州临床卓越委员会实施了世界上第一个标准化的患者安全系统(即，在旗帜之间)来解决这些问题。我们的目标是对这一系统的有效性进行评估。

Research indicates that one in ten patients admitted to hospital suffered an adverse event. Studies have shown that the adverse clinical outcomes (e.g. cardiac arrest or death) often exhibit early warning signs such as slow deterioration of vital signs hours before such an event. Clinical Excellence Commission of NSW implemented a world-first standardised patient safety system (i.e., Between the Flag) to address the issues. We aim to provide an evaluation of the effectiveness of this system.
