Using Quality Improvement Methods with the Pediatric Early Warning Signs (PEWS) Score to Increase Patient Safety and Interdisciplinary Communication

It is not uncommon for hospitalized patients to exhibit early warning signs before deteriorating. Clinical deterioration can happen at any point in a patient’s illness, or care process. Nurses are expected to have skills to enable them to assess precisely the severity of deterioration, as nurses are the first to encounter the patients. In keeping views we as team have develop module on Recognition of Early Warning signs for Nurses to assess their knowledge, educate them and reassess their knowledge

Phd Thesis

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a summary report and reflect on a recently passed PhD thesis (Sharaborova, 2014b) related to project management topics. Design/methodology/approach – This paper focussed on narrative reflection upon the completed doctoral journey. Findings – This paper presents the thesis findings, the research models, the guide in dealing with the early warning signs that developed as a result of this research and the contribution made to theory and practice. Research limitations/implications – Limitations of the research and the perspectives of the further diffusion of the research findings are considered. Originality/value – This TRN is a PhD candidate’s point of view as well as the opinions of the scientific research supervisors about the doctoral study and its outcome. The paper could be useful for novice researchers who wish to conduct their research and did not yet make a decision.
