| Colleagues should note that there is a current issue with the NEWS/PEWS option not being generated within the electronic patient record system UNITY.
Once a full set of observations are documented via ‘vital signs’ found under ‘Assessments/Fluid Balance’ the NEWS2 score at the bottom of the view is not generating/populating other areas of Unity.
Please defer to the observation references contained within your Business Continuity Packs (BCP), pending a solution (these can be located on the paper charts within the BCP packs).
If you have any questions or concerns, please raise these with your nurse or manager in charge and via the capacity office.
Below are examples of what is available for you to use when calculating the NEWS score. Please note any concerns and escalate to the medical staff on your ward.
 
IT are currently working with the supplier to resolve this as soon as possible. |
