Learning objectives:
- Each observation may be a cause for concern.
- How observations relate to patient’s health.
- How scores are calculated and common errors.
- Underlying conditions and ABCDE assessment.
- Uniform recording improves recognition of unwell patients.
“The game encourages staff to discuss the potential implications of a single set of observations, to shift their focus onto the patient and not just their score.”
