It is based on the paper [[The ALERT scale: an observational study of early prediction of adverse hospital outcome for medical patients]].

~~It is an equation that provides a score for~~ the ~~early prediction~~ of ~~the probability of an adverse hospital outcome~~ for ~~medical patients and~~ uses ~~values the database program collects at patient admission~~.

Julie calculates the Alert Scale in SAS based on [[ALERT Scale timing of assessment]] and [[ALERT Scale Calculation]]. See [[ALERT Scale Use]] for potential uses of this tool.

~~Adverse outcomes being:~~

We support an [[ALERT Scale App]] to calculate this scale.

*within 30 days of hospitalization:

**cardiac arrest

**death

*within first 48 hours of hospitalization:

**ICU admission

The early risk stratification tool can compliment other assessment measures used in the initial assessment of patients admitted to general medicine wards to better screen patients who can then be provided more effective care.
