We asked for evidence on timely observations and improving intervention with deteriorating patients to improve the trust’s compliance with the National Early Warning Score (NEWS2).
The research you provided helped inform our decision-making, and continues to do so.
Our pilot ward has improved their NEWS2 average compliance from 62% to 80%, and we are working on a information pack to be disseminated to all wards. This pack will help reestablish NEWS2 standards, illustrating the importance of timely observations. A lot of the evidence provided by Knowledge and Libraries is referenced in the pack.” Continuous Improvement Project Manager, UHSussex
If you want to find the very best evidence but have limited time, we’ll research for you. We’ll search key health databases, clinical summaries and specialist research sources and filter the results carefully, based on your specific needs and to your timescale.
We’ll provide you with a selected summary of our findings with abstracts and extracts of relevant research. This will be emailed to you as a word document with embedded links to full text.

We used your evidence to undertake analysis of conditions most strongly associated with poor self-reported health, and combined it with data to develop a local model. The evidence will impact our approach, including more targeted projects to improve healthy life expectancy where the gap is greatest locally.” Public Health Practitioner, East Sussex County Council Public Health
