Clinician outcomes.
Reduced Nursing Workload | They realized it wasn’t more work, on the contrary, at some point, it would decrease their amount of work (Administrator, Xalapa) |
Thanks to the result of this project, nurses can treat fewer patients (Nurse, Lima) | |
Job Satisfaction | It’s personally very satisfying to be able to bring that kind of attention to the patients (Nurse, Xalapa) |
The effort that [PEWS] requires is not that big and the satisfaction that we have to prevent a cardiac arrest or death on a patient is much higher (ICU Physician, Cuenca) | |
The satisfaction of contributing to my patient’s health, preventing deterioration because my vital signs were taken on time, because my interventions were correct (Nurse, San Salvador) | |
Knowledge | [Nurses] would take the vital signs … without knowing if the patient was okay or bad until this program was implemented (Ward Physician, San Luis Potosi) |
It helped my knowledge; it expanded my ideas about attention (Nurse, Xalapa) | |
Empowerment | This situation has helped for the empowerment of the nursing staff, to say hey my job is valuable (Ward Physician, Lima) |
That empowerment, not just from the nursing staff but from the entire multidisciplinary team that participated in the improvement of the patient, has helped with the success of the project (Nurse, San Salvador) |
