Highlights
The Early Warning Score (EWS) Web Tool is a software application for computing patient risk scores to help clinicians quickly assess the degree of a patient’s illness, thereby aiding in patient management and decision making. The EWS Web Tool retrieves clinical information from manual inputs, spot check monitoring and continuous monitoring via Gateway connected to compatible Dräger patient monitors.
Essential clinical decision support
Early identification of patient deterioration is essential in intervening and preventing many serious conditions. However, early warning signs are often subtle and develop over time, making them difficult to detect and interpret accurately.

g patterns across multiple symptoms is crucial, as relying on individual signs alone may delay intervention. By connecting the dots, clinicians can make faster, more informed decisions that enhance patient safety and outcomes.The Early Warning Score (EWS) Web Tool gathers vital signs data from continuous, intermittent, or manual inputs, centralising it into a location-independent dashboard that automatically scores patient deterioration levels. The tool uses parameters like RR, HR, SYS, SpO2, Temp, A(C)VPU, and O2/Air to calculate up to 29 EWS protocols, including 4 default and 25 customised EWS protocols. The dashboard visualises these single parameter scores, helping you to identify early warning signs and enabling clinical responses across up to 256 beds.Efficient and cost-effective workflows
Reducing unplanned ICU transfers is crucial for improving patient outcomes and minimising costs. Studies have shown that using automated early warning scores can decrease these transfers by 40%*. Nurses using a form of EWS decision-support tool activ … More information

This ensures immediate alerts, sharing of patient information, and individual notifications to keep everyone informed in real time.The EWS Web Tool features an easy-to-use dashboard that can be used on both PCs and mobile devices. You can configure the display to see the information you need in the format you prefer. Additionally, tabular and graphical screens allow you to customise your dashboard. The intuitive colour coding reflects the level of patient deterioration, and real-time data, statistics and filter options help you tailor your dashboard to support your workflow efficiently.* Shannan K.
