Change in level of concern for patient by discrepancy in PAR score. PAR, Patient Acuity Rating. The x-axis represents the difference between the subject assigned PAR score and the primary team assigned PAR score for a given sign-out. A positive number indicates that the primary team assigned a higher PAR score, and a negative number indicates that the subject assigned a higher PAR score. The y-axis represents the difference in the subject’s level of concern before and after revealing of the primary team assigned PAR score. A positive number indicates the subject increased their level of concern after revealing the primary team PAR score, while a negative number indicates a decrease in level of concern. The size of the circle represents the frequency weighted distribution, and the straight line is the linear best fit regression. R2 = 0.547.
