Abstract

After implementation of electronic modified early warning score to engage the rapid response team as a clinical decision support tool, we assessed the knowledge level about and usage of the tool by core staff. We identified a knowledge deficit, planned and implemented an educational intervention, and measured the outcome of the intervention. The outcome measurement indicated improved use of the clinical decision support tool by core staff and improved patient rescue strategies.
