Early Warning Score Feature for Portrait™ VSM Vital Signs Monitor

Early Warning Score Feature for the GE Portrait™ VSM Vital Signs Monitor.

Early Warning Scores help you to effectively monitor deteriorating patients’ conditions and make timely interventions, all while limiting manual calculations and transcriptions. EWS scoring with care instructions are displayed on the screen, and scores are sent to the EMR with the patient vitals.

The Portrait VSM monitor provides up to seven EWS protocols, which include MEWS and NEWS2, plus a configuration tool to allow for five customized EWS protocol profiles, defined by your facility. You can define your EWS protocols to include:

• Measured parameters (NIBP, SpO2, temperature or pulse rate)
• Customisable manual parameters and observations (numerical or from predefined list)
• Subscore scales 0-2, 0-3, or 0-4
• Up to 15 parameters total EWS scores are presented on the main screen with associated color coding, or can be found in the patient record
