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.
We calculate the Alert Scale in [[Centralized data front end.accdb]] 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.

The ALERT Scale attempts to predict early which patients will have an adverse hospital outcome. It is based on the paper The ALERT scale: an observational study of early prediction of adverse hospital outcome for medical patients.

We calculate the Alert Scale in Centralized data front end.accdb based on ALERT Scale timing of assessment and ALERT Scale Calculation. See ALERT Scale Use for potential uses of this tool.

We support an ALERT Scale App to calculate this scale.
