Standard 8 of the National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards is Recognising and Responding to Acute Deterioration, which centres on the early detection of deterioration and escalation of care. Action 8.4 of the standard explicitly states that health services are to "graphically document and track changes in agreed observations to detect acute deterioration over time, as appropriate for the patient", and outlines the minimum observations to be taken of all patients. The implementation advise specifically recommends the use of track and trigger charts (also called observation and response charts) to monitor patient physiological status, and encourages the use of digital EWS to improve early detection where properly implemented.
