Article Synopsis
- Vital signs are important health measurements that hospital staff use to keep track of how patients are doing.
- Researchers studied a lot of these records from over 770,000 observations across 20 hospital wards in South Wales to find patterns in how care is given.
- They discovered that, while most wards followed expected practices, there were also unusual observation patterns that could help improve patient care.
