Abstract

Adding continuous monitoring to usual care at an acute admission ward did not have an effect on the proportion of patients safely discharged. Implementation challenges of continuous monitoring may have contributed to the lack of effect observed.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a randomized trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 2 of 5 (High · randomized trial). Randomized trials of a reasonable size are the strongest single-study design.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
