HIHI conducted a 9-week evaluation on Syncrophi’s KEWS300 system in a busy public hospital. The results were extremely compelling: error-rates on vital-sign charting and early-warning-scores dropped from 49% to 0% and an anonymous staff survey at the end of the trial asked for three questions to be rated on a 5-point scale (1 = much worse, 3 = no-change, 5 = much better):
| “How did the system affect patient care?” | average score 4.86 |
| “How did the system impact your productivity?” | average score 4.71 |
| “How do you rate the system’s ease-of-use?” | average score 4.57 |
