Early detection can make the difference between life and death.

Patients typically show signs of deterioration 8 to 12 hours before a critical event.1 Now, you can ensure early signs of deterioration are recognized and your care teams know how to respond. Designed to supplement your EMR’s Early Warning Scoring System (EWSS), our system uses hospital-configured scoring systems and interventions to identify patients at risk and guide care teams right at the bedside. This optional add-on to Capsule Vitals Plus or Chart Xpress* is an ideal tool for non-critical care areas.
