Sponsor's own description

Early Warning Score (EWS) is a tool designed to help clinicians efficiently identify and track patients who have or develop acute illness, and make timely clinical responses. The calculation and charting of EWSs at Tuen Mun Hospital (TMH) is a manual process at present. The purpose of this study is to automate the EWS calculation and charting process using an electronic EWS (e-EWS) system. However, while the e-EWS system could potentially reduce ward staff's workload and improve patient safety, its effectiveness can only be realized through good human factors (HF) design that matches users' expectations, requirements and work practices. Therefore, our aim is to carry out HF methods in order to inform design of the e-EWS system before its implementation in a selected surgical ward in the hospital. After its implementation, we will also conduct evaluation of the e-EWS system to assess its effectiveness with respect to clinical outcomes.
