Outcomes

• Weekly evaluation is conducted to note any drastic changes in data.

• Further evaluation will be conducted once discharge planning changes are implemented.

To analyze Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) Data for use in discharge program planning

I would like to thank Rajiv Arya, M.D. and staff, Ann Marie Hill, and

Tamara Swedberg for their assistance in this project.

• The Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) was developed in the 1990s.

• The score predicts the likelihood of death in the next 48 hours.

• It is commonly used to activate Rapid Response and Resuscitation.

• RWJUH is interested in using MEWS data to assist in discharge planning.
