Abstract

The Rothman Index, an early warning system using software integrated with the electronic medical record, provides scores monitoring patient conditions. Minimal findings exist regarding Rothman Index scores in medical-surgical patients. Differences in Rothman Index scores were explored for medical-surgical patients who suffered rapid response, cardiopulmonary resuscitation or death events.
