Abstract
Compliance with EWS is poor but the cause is unidentified. Outcomes can only improve if staff complete the EWS fully, calculate the score accurately, monitor according to protocol and escalate according to clinical response. Social, environmental and professional behaviours that affect effective use of track and trigger tools should be explored to improve our understanding of suboptimal management of the deteriorating patient.
