Alerts are generated when predefined thresholds are exceeded and are delivered to nursing staff via smartphones and workstation monitors. The intervention is implemented in addition to usual practice with intermittent monitoring using the National Early Warning Score (NEWS-2), according to hospital protocol. Nursing staff receive training prior to implementation, and clinical responses to alerts are managed in accordance with hospital procedures.

In surgical wards, postoperative patients are typically monitored intermittently using the National Early Warning Score (NEWS-2), leaving periods during which clinical deterioration may go undetected. Continuous vital sign monitoring (CVSM) using wearable sensors offers the potential for earlier identification of deterioration compared with intermittent assessments.\n\nCVSM was introduced in a hospital ward as part of a hospital-initiated pilot implementation and is used alongside standard monitoring with NEWS-2. The purpose of the study is to evaluate this implementation.\n\nThis observational study uses a pragmatic, quasi-experimental, multi-method, longitudinal design. The overall aims of the study are to evaluate the impact of CVSM implementation on patient outcomes, to explore healthcare professionals' perceptions of patient safety culture, turnover intention and pleasure of work, and to describe their experiences with implementation.",[65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74],"Patient Monitoring","Wearable Devices","Telemonitoring","Patient Safety","Patient Deterioration","Nurses","Healthcare Professionals","Work-related Outcomes","Implementation","Implementation Research",[76,77,78,67,79,80,81,82,70,83,84,85,86,87,73,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95],"Continuous vital sign monitoring","Patient monitoring","Wearable devices","Patient safety","Patient deterioration","Early warning scores","National Early Warning Score (NEWS-2)","Healthcare professionals","Patient safety culture","Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture (HSOPSC 2.0)","Employee motivation","Work-related outcomes","Technology implementation","Quasi-experimental design","Focus group interview","qualitative study","SEIPS","Digital health","Gastro-surgical ward","Postoperative patients","2026-07-08",{"date":98,"type":99},"2026-07-09","ACTUAL",{"date":101,"type":99},"2025-09-01",{"date":103,"type":61},"2026-10-01",{"name":5,"class":6},1]
