- Co-designing a monitoring system to support patient safety in emergency carePublication . Neves, Sandra; Guarino, Maria PedroGoing to a hospital can be a stressful and anxious experience for many patients, particularly those needing emergency care. These individuals are more likely to wait long hours to be treated, admitted, or discharged. Portuguese emergency departments (EDs) are struggling to treat patients quickly and safely due to the increased number of patients going into Eds (Brazão et al. 2016). This situation highlights concerns about patients’ safety issues and their implications for timely detection of clinical deterioration in patients during their waiting times in EDs. Identifying signs of clinical deterioration at the earliest stages can allow for prompt intervention that can significantly impact on patient outcomes, especially in emergency care settings where patients’ health conditions can deteriorate quickly. However, the available resources are limited, and innovative approaches to support clinical practice are required.
