Paediatric Early Warning Systems: a scoping study: Lessons from a rapid review

Diverse paediatric early warning (PEW) systems are used in acute healthcare settings in the UK, to help staff identify early signs of clinical deterioration in patients and facilitate timely intervention. The Healthcare Improvement Studies commissioned RAND Europe to conduct a rapid review of the evidence on the use of UK PEW scores and systems and to identify learning relevant for potential efforts to standardise practice.
