ALERT Scale timing of assessment

The timing of MOST score assessment

1. When a patient is admitted FROM the EMERGENCY DEPT, the MOST assessment is done using values closest to the time that the “decision to accept to medicine service” was made.
2. When patients move BETWEEN WARDS or FROM an ICU to a medicine ward the MOST assessment is made using values from the closest time of discharge from the sending service.
