Assessment 3




Literature Review


This literature review should provide a critical analysis of the available literature focusing on
escalation systems

within contemporary health care practice. Primary research papers should be utilised for this review. Literature should be less than five years old unless seminal papers. Please avoid a descriptive account of research studies, as you are required to demonstrate your critical thinking abilities at this level of study.



The specific literature review question is:



What factors impact on the escalation system in healthcare?


There are many resources available to you on the Blackboard site as well as in the ECU Library which will assist you in the process of undertaking a review of the literature. Remember this does not have to be a Systematic Review of the literature but a thorough and systematic approach to defining a question, searching and sourcing the literature, critiquing the evidence and making recommendations. Please attend the virtual tutorial where literature reviews will be discussed.



Introduction


A general overview is required here including a definition of escalation systems around the world and in the Australian context. This sets the scene for your review of the available literature on this topic. Please define a question for your review, which you will base your search strategy on. Ensure that the intent of the assignment i.e. what you intend to achieve is clearly stated.



Methods


This is the “recipe” for your review. This should include the search strategy including databases, key words, inclusion and exclusion criteria, PICO and sources retrieved. Include how you chose the articles included for final review and the critical review process of papers for inclusion in the review.


Please include a table which summarises the articles included in the review. This should include the citation, sample, setting, methods, findings and a comment as indicated. An algorithm of the retrieval and selection of sources should also be included. Please avoid systematic reviews or literature reviews; just include primary research papers. This must be a transparent process to ensure that your marker is aware that you have undertaken a rigorous search strategy.



Critical Analysis


In this section it is important to undertake a critique of all the papers that you have retained for the review. Undertake a systematic evaluation of all of the studies; analysing the positive aspects as well as the not so positive. Utilising a structured review process for each study is important.



Summary of the Literature


Summarise the literature in this section and compare studies, their approached and findings to others. What is new and innovative in these articles and what are the implications for practice?



Recommendations for further Research and Practice Implications


Make recommendations for further research and practice changes in this section, based on the gaps in the literature which you have identified and well supported arguments for changes in practice which you identified in the literature.


Please use APA 7th
referencing style and adhere to the School of Nursing and Midwifery’s Assignment Guidelines.

Introduction
Over the last decade, more and more research has focused on recognizing as well as reacting to patients who are clinically deteriorating in the hospital environment. Many of this interest were driven by studies that showed that patient deterioration was not recognized as well as was not addressed in a appropriate way. This revocation of patient care led to an increased risk or incidence of major adverse events for example unplanned hospitalization in the intensive care unit, in-hospital cardiopulmonary arrest, and unexpected death. Therefore, better timely awareness and prompt intervention is crucial to providing secure moreover quality care to patients who are deteriorating before the situation is life-threatening. Permanent challenges related with providing timely or efficient acute as well as critical care to exacerbating inpatients have been identified. Through attempts to tackle suboptimal care, policy makers, clinicians, and scholars analyze the acute care environment to better know this undoubtedly difficult problem and to patients experiencing in-hospital deterioration. We have identified strategies that might get better the quality care. The strategies investigated have also focused on increasing the vision of inpatients. A “system-wide” institutional approach to patient detection, monitoring, and escalation is required to ensure that aggravated patients are seen by the correct clinician in correct time frame with the right results. A rapid response system that covers the detection or management of deteriorating patients must at least have both afferent limbs that track physiological tendencies and efferent limbs that elicit appropriate responses.
Methods
Search Strategy
A complete search strategy for several electronic data-bases was implemented from January 2015 to January 2020. The applicable electronic databases used were the CINAHL, Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, BMJ, and PsycINFO. The search phrases used were chosen moreover combined using PICOS (Phenomena of Interest, Population, Context, and Research Design) frameworks to address literature review questions-"Impact on Healthcare Escalation Systems". What are the factors that give? The three main search phrases were "aspect", escalation system as well as doctor or nurse.
Exclusion and inclusion criteria
In order to provide a huge stage of quality as well as recent research, the search was restricted to peer-audited journals published in English between 2015 and 2020. The complete eligibility criteria or search strategy are shown in Table 1 of the Appendix. Eligibility screening also conducted in a series of levels using the Priority Report Items (PRISMA) for the meta-analyses and systematic audits. After removing duplicates in the 239 studies initially identified, the studies were additional screened based on titles as well as summaries of the remaining 151 samples.
Content Analysis and Data Extraction    
The data are summarized or tabulated under the headings by year, author, country, and title, purpose of study, sample, design, or key finding. Thematic analysis of the data was performed to examine important patterns throughout the study. A tabular summary of the key findings has allowed additional relative analysis of dataset. Recurring themes have been recognized moreover clustered into major and sub-themes. Two aspects were recognized or used to categorize the information: personal and organizational aspects. Both the domains were reliable in the consistent and literature with the purpose of literature review. The primary area, individual aspects, was supported by three sub-themes: clinical intuition, clinical experience, or information of escalation procedure. The second domain, organizational aspects, was encapsulated in two sub-themes. Informal regulation of care escalation and employee characteristics.
Discussion
This literature review identified three key factors affecting the escalation of the patient care. They were individual-related aspects, task-associated aspects, as well as organization-associated aspects. Factors related to the first subject person include awareness of clinical expertise, RRS, or support from hospital leaders and colleagues. The second element associated with the task includes justification of RRS activation, review of reactions from RRT members, staffing, and workload. The third element includes traditional models of staff education and training, and care escalation.
Person-associated aspects influencing an activation of the instant response system
Perceptions of the RRS
Advantages and disadvantages of RRS recognized by ward clinicians. Both young doctors and ward nurses evaluated RRS, but there were concerns that it would be detrimental to RRS activation. Twenty-one studies helped to resolve system-related problems such as rapid medical expertise for worsening patients, delayed attending physicians or restricted presence of nurses, as well as rescue of worsening patients from RRT. We support. As ward nurses were scared of criticism of unnecessary activation, junior doctors were worried about deskills in managing clinical deterioration. Several papers reported that ward doctors or members of the RRT showed reprimands, criticisms, or negative attitudes towards the nurse who called the RRT. This was caused by the fear of being considered clinically incompetent, as doctors are ashamed to ask for help.
The junior doctor said he was afraid of criticism by senior worker for activating RRT and learned that he had to manage it himself. Ward nurses were concerned that they would be considered incompetent by RRT. Recognizing the RRT call as a failure interrupted collaboration with RRT (Olsen et al., 2019). Almost all participants stated that the repeated guarantee of the policy without questions from MET members helped promote MET activation for the deteriorating patients. Nevertheless, about half of young doctors as well as three-quarters of nurses are at risk of criticism from others at the top of the healthcare hierarchy when they are perceived to have "unnecessarily" activated MET. Reported to be the main deterrent to activation. For nurses, they were afraid to be criticized by doctors on the primary group for "unnecessarily" activating MET. We shared that even experienced nurses often consult with other senior nurses and discuss with colleagues before activating MET calls
Clinical Expertise
Most nurses recognized the significance of clinical skill in calling RRT. Nevertheless, clinical skill can also lead to overconfidence in managing exacerbations within the limits of one's abilities. This apparent confidence is even more pronounced among healthcare professionals. Twenty-three studies have recognized clinical skills as a powerful factor influencing the activation of RRS by nurses, although the impact by physicians is modest. Experienced nurses are not only more confident and motivated to activate RRT than junior nurses, but also use intuitive judgments gained from past experience to justify RRS activation. Nurses' knowledge of the patient's condition and the capability to interpret clinical information collected from patient assessments were also important factors in clinical decision making in RRS activation. Clinical skill can lead to overconfidence in the ability to handle patient exacerbations without seeking RRT assistance. This was shown more prominently by the attending physician...
