What is NEWS2?<\/h2>\n

NEWS2 is an early warning score\u00a0designed\u00a0by the Royal College of Physicians to\u00a0standardise the assessment of acute-illness severity.\u00a0NEWS2\u00a0analyses\u00a0six vital signs\u00a0(respiration rate, blood oxygen saturation, blood pressure, pulse, level of consciousness and temperature) and calculates a score with accompanying guidance surrounding monitoring and clinical response.<\/p>\n

All acute trusts, out-of-hours GP services, mental health trusts, community service providers and NHS commissioning groups support use of NEWS2.\u00a0In many areas, the system\u00a0is required when care homes communicate with ambulance services, GPs and A&E departments.\u00a0The CareDocs\u00a0NEWS2 chart uses the same visual style as the paper chart provided by the\u00a0Royal College of Physicians, ensuring that it\u2019s simple to read and will be understood by nurses and clinicians who have received guidance\u00a0or training\u00a0on the use of NEWS2.<\/p>\n

How does NEWS2 work in CareDocs?<\/h2>\n

We have digitised the NEWS2 chart and scoring process by automatically calculating the scores for you for a more efficient experience. By simply entering the six vital sign readings and the supporting criteria into our NEWS2 chart entry form, and choosing which scoring scale you wish to use, CareDocs will provide you with a total NEWS2 score and will display the recommended response information. The higher the score, the more urgent your response should be. Should you need to escalate a resident\u2019s care to a more equipped clinical facility, you can print the NEWS2 chart or save a digital file to provide the medical team with the latest vital readings and scores.<\/p>\n

To save you from entering the same vital reading information multiple times into different charts, when you record data into the NEWS2 chart, the same data will be automatically imported into the respective individual charts (Blood Pressure, Pulse, Respiration Rate and Temperature). For example, when you enter a new temperature reading into the NEWS2 chart, CareDocs will also add this onto the Temperature chart monitoring sheet for you.<\/p>\n
