Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The PEWS implementation study will be undertaken with the following objectives: 1. Assess the effectiveness of implementation of PEWS and resuscitation training to identify patients at risk for clinical deterioration and to impact the frequency of clinical interventions made by treating providers on these patients. 2. Assess the effectiveness of implementation of PEWS and resuscitation training to impact time sensitive clinical interventions made on patients at risk for clinical deterioration. 3. Assess the impact of implementation of PEWS and resuscitation training on length of stay for patients admitted to the pediatric oncology ward.
