- One of our outputs applying our data science skills to the development of the NHS-mandated National Early Warning Score (NEWS) and its evaluation. This paper addressed an issue in the Royal College of Physicians recommendations for escalation of patient care: calling for a doctor if the patient scored highly in one vital sign (only). We showed these patients were not particularly high risk. The RCP cited this in their NEWS2 report (https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/file/8636/download) as contributing significantly to their decision to amend their recommendations.
