The team talk about an app that is now used across all wards in the Trust to measure the physical and therapeutic observation of service users. They explain how this app is helping identify deteriorating patients much earlier on, as well as freeing up more time for direct patient care and providing more accurate results.

Viewers will also learn how they can adopt what the team have done within their own organisation through the blueprint that has been created of this project.
