Sepsis alert system hailed for reducing deaths and hospital stays Digital alerts which monitor patients for sepsis have resulted in a fall in deaths and hospital stays linked to the deadly condition.
The system has been in place across the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust’s emergency departments and inpatient wards since 2016, notifying doctors if factors such as temperature, heart rate and glucose levels fall outside what is considered safe.
Clinicians are informed via a pop-up warning which appears in electronic health records or on a dashboard. ITV News
