Analyse and interpret the data collected accurately and take appropriate action.
Recognise when to escalate if the observations are outside normal limits.
Understand the underpinning Legal and professional issues relating to Clinical Observations.
Be aware of the Anatomy and Physiology relating to Clinical Observations.
Clinical observations allow healthcare professionals to be aware of the health status of patients and allow tracking of patient’s health status. Patients within all healthcare and community settings may be at risk of physiological deterioration and not all patient deterioration can be predicted- so all patients (with the exception of some patients at the end of their life) require observation which includes the taking and recording of vital signs.
Early detection, timeliness and competency of response to changes in clinical observations are important determinants of clinical outcome in people with acute illness. ‘Track and trigger’ tools such as Early Warning Scores assist clinicians in spotting deteriorating patients.
Measuring observations training is an excellent course for healthcare professionals working in a range of healthcare settings.
