Pilot early warning of sepsis from vital signs

Hospitals predict deterioration such as sepsis from vital signs

Future prospectStrictly regulatedSupporting specialist findingsHospitals & medical practices

Fits: Health & care

Software that continuously analyses vital signs, laboratory values and nursing documentation is meant to show deterioration such as sepsis earlier than the usual observation. Whether this works reliably and without too many false alarms in German hospitals is still open. There are studies and pilot projects, but it is not yet widespread in everyday hospital practice.

Is this for you?

  • Your hospital wants to be an early pilot partner and test whether an early warning from vital signs makes deterioration visible sooner.
  • Vital signs, laboratory values and nursing documentation are available digitally and promptly on the pilot wards, not just on paper charts.
  • You have an internal rapid response team or sepsis team and a fixed procedure that can respond to warnings.
First step today

Use the template below to research which systems for early detection of deterioration and sepsis have CE marking and what independent studies show. Then clarify with IT, intensive care and nursing management which data is available digitally and promptly on which wards.

How to go about it

  1. Define the pilot question, wards and medical responsibility
  2. Only a system with CE marking or an approved study
  3. Run it silently first, then integrate it
  4. Validate with your own patient courses
  5. Train doctors and nurses on the pilot wards
  6. Document warnings and the pilot result
