Part 1Q1. Yes, I believe that the “early save” program implemented by the hospital is effective inimproving early timely and early recognition of deteriorating clinical conditions in my hospitalwhere I am working. The reason for this conclusion is that looking at the data providedcomparing pre –early save program to post early save program you will realize that there areimprovements in terms of patients that died, transferred to ICU, transferred to HDU as well asthose who remained on the general ward. Specifically, 25% of the patients that were in need ofearly save program but were not subjected to the program died compared to 10% date of all thepatients that were subjected to early save program after the innovation was implemented. Thisshows a reduction of 10% in deaths that occurred when the two phases are compared. (Prokscha,2012)Another aspect that shows improvement is percentage of patients transferred to Intensive CareUnit. In the pre –early save program 35 % of the patients were moved to or transferred to ICU incomparison to 20% of those patients that were transferred to during the post early save program.Putting this in a different perspective, transferring patients to ICU means the patient’s health wasdeteriorating meaning there were less patients whose clinical conditions deteriorated during postearly save program compared to pre early save program. (Rondel, Varley and Webb, 2012).Although from the data we can see that same percentage of patients were moved to or transferredto HDU for both pre and post early save program this can be attributed to the fact that the levelclinical deterioration of the patients were such that it is difficult to improve them through earlysave program as these are basic steps that only seeks to assist the patient but not detailed andspecific medical attention and that these kind of patients were going to need HDU in any case.Comparing patients that remained on ward to those that either were transferred to ICU, HDU orlost their life we can see an improvement of 30% between pre early save program to post early
