Brief summary

* Reduction in time to detection of Clinically Significant events * Reduction of time to Intervention during Clinically Significant events * Reduction in the number of admissions to Intensive Care

Detailed description

1200 patients will have wireless monitors attached to their arm. They will be randomized to have their vital signs filtered through software that generates alerts, or software that does not generate alerts. Low and high limit alarms will be set according to published guidelines and adjusted at will by the response team. If appropriate the Vanderbilt University Medical Center Rapid Response team will be initiated per Institutional Policy

Interventions

OTHERRapid Response Team (NTX wireless monitoring system)

If the subject is experiencing a life threatening change in their vital signs, the Rapid Response Team will be initiated per VUMC protocol.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To determine if the NTX wireless monitoring system in combination with a novel computer interface will provide early detection of potentially life threatening changes in patient's vital signs	an interim analysis will be performed after 400 patients have been placed on the study, again after 800 have been places on the study
