Abstract in brief

  • The study evaluates how mandatory use of the Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) affects nurses' free-text documentation about patient airway, breathing, circulation, and pain in a hospital setting.
  • The research found that after implementing MEWS, nurses’ free-text notes increased significantly, especially within 8 to 24 hours of detecting vital parameter deviations, indicating changes in how nurses record clinical observations.
  • Overall, the study suggests that making MEWS mandatory influences nursing documentation practices, potentially improving the recording of clinical symptoms and patient safety.
