Summary

* Reduction in time to detection of Clinically Significant events * Reduction of time to Intervention during Clinically Significant events * Reduction in the number of admissions to Intensive Care

Detailed description

1200 patients will have wireless monitors attached to their arm. They will be randomized to have their vital signs filtered through software that generates alerts, or software that does not generate alerts. Low and high limit alarms will be set according to published guidelines and adjusted at will by the response team. If appropriate the Vanderbilt University Medical Center Rapid Response team will be initiated per Institutional Policy

Conditions

• Bradycardia
• Tachycardia
• Hypertension
• Hypotension
