the data presented, do you think the EARLY SAVE program has been effective in improving early recognition and response to clinical deterioration in your hospital? Why/ why not? From what we can analyse based on the graph and sample sizes, the ‘EARLY SAVE’ has proven to be effective in improving early recognition and response to clinical deterioration in your hospital due to the positive changes in sample sizes from Pre ‘EARLY SAVE’ to Post ‘EARLY SAVE’. In regards to patient outcomes following Code
performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the initiation of immediate emergency medical services have a great impact on survival ratio after out-of-hospital-cardiac-arrest [2]. Take foreign-body airway obstruction for example, the patient will have a much greater chance to survive and recover if they get first-aid during the “golden one hour”, which means the first hour after the injury. Accordingly, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation and the American Heart Association

Regardless of our future careers, we are all likely to experience some sort of teamwork requirement, even if it is as simple as getting along with your co-workers. Teams working in a hospital or other healthcare setting may consist of several physicians, nurses, medical assistants, referral coordinators, pharmacists, therapists, and students among others. Such large teams can provide comprehensive care for complex and chronic illnesses
closely and effectively to offer an integrated and evidence-based practice” (p.212). Health care is a constant changing environment; patient’s needs are prioritized, and collaboration is necessary because of this shift in the stability of care from hospital facilities to the community. Team effectiveness can be influenced by many things; structure, communication, leadership, attitude, values, skills, and education.

will prevent organ dysfunction which can lead to death. In some cases, the SSC recommended Early Goal Directed Therapy (EGDT) based on patient presentation, vital sign and lab studies. The EGDT bundles consist of early Intravenous Fluid (IV) resuscitation and IV broad spectrum antibiotics should be given within three hours of serum lactate. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), it’s documented from 1999-2014, a total of 2,470,666 deaths were associated with sepsis (CDC, 2016). After
There is an estimated 19 million plus cases of sepsis per year worldwide (Van der Wekken et al., 2016). A large majority of these cases present to the hospital ER without proper recognition of sepsis syndrome leading to a delay, sometimes of several hours, to proper treatment. Delay in early and appropriate treatment including fluid resuscitation, vasopressor, support, and antibiotics, can lead to increase mortality rates in the advanced stages of sepsis (Wisdom et al., 2015). Mortality rates exceed

This has been coupled with the creation of new models to assist Emergency Departments (ED) to provide safe and timely access to emergency care. Six years later, PricewaterhouseCoopers
inter-disciplinary rounds (SIDR), improved ratings of collaboration and teamwork, on hospital care providers. The intervention implemented a forum for regular interdisciplinary meetings. Unlike the first two interventions, the study design was a randomised controlled trial. The results displayed that SIDR had a strong positive effect, where teamwork was greatly improved. A newly embraced practise which is continually improving workplace culture is mindfulness and mediation. Research shows that those who
