Combining rapid response with monitoring

Patient acceptability of wearable vital sign monitoring technologies in the acute care setting: A systematic review

“…Theoretically, wearable vital sign monitoring devices may also reduce nursing workload, enhance patient mobility (Jeffs et al, 2016;Nangalia et al, 2010), and give rise to economic benefits related to a better distribution of clinical resources and a reduction in errors and adverse events in the ward and ambulatory care setting (Milenković, Otto, & Jovanov, 2006;Nangalia et al, 2010). It is well known that hospitalised patients commonly exhibit physiological antecedents prior to adverse events such as cardiac arrest or unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admissions (Hillman et al, 2001;Schein, Hazday, Pena, Ruben, & Sprung, 1990).…”

“…Studies were published between 2009 and 2018. Two studies were conducted in the United States of America (Michaels et al, 2009;Pollack, 2009), three in the United Kingdom (UK) (Downey et al, 2018;Harper et al, 2010;Jeffs et al, 2016), one in Austria (Hubner et al, 2015), and one in Taiwan (Hsiao, Lee, Tien, Feng, & Huang, 2015). One study was conducted at multiple sites within a single UK Trust (Jeffs et al, 2016); the remaining six were single-site studies (Downey et al, 2018;Harper et al, 2010;Hsiao et al, 2015;Hubner et al, 2015;Michaels et al, 2009;Pollack, 2009).…”
