Sustainability review
Have improvement changes been embedded?
- Are EPR escalation prompts still active on all wards?
- Is the "reason for delay" field completed reliably?
- Is NEWS2 escalation compliance included in monthly ward governance packs?
- Has deteriorating patient content been added to induction (nursing and medical)?
- Are ward teams receiving feedback on NEWS2 escalation performance?
