The implementation and evaluation of a modified early warning system (MEWS) on surgical wards are described. The MEWS was found to be a useful adjunct to the outreach service. Early data have shown that MEWS can help direct critical intervention. Ward staff have benefit from both the MEWS and the outreach service.
