Our view of the service

We undertook a focused assessment looking at one area of concern. We found that all staff were able to articulate how they would undertake the recognition and escalation of the deteriorating patient. We reviewed patient records which documented the completed process in full with no errors or omission. Senior leaders were able to articulate how they maintained oversight of all processes that related to the management of the deteriorating patients admitted to urgent and emergency care.
