TL;DR
Improving pre-requisite knowledge, rehearsal of first response and team management strategies need to be a key component of undergraduate nursing students' education and ought to specifically address clinical performance, teamwork and situation awareness in the management of deteriorating patients.
Abstract
Final year undergraduate nursing students may have difficulty recognising and responding appropriately to patient deterioration. Improving pre-requisite knowledge, rehearsal of first response and team management strategies need to be a key component of undergraduate nursing students' education and ought to specifically address clinical performance, teamwork and situation awareness.

This article proposes an alternative framework to account for individual differences in attained professional development, as well as many aspects of age-related decline, based on the assumption that acquisition of expert performance requires engagement in deliberate practice and that continued deliberate practice is necessary for maintenance of many types of professional performance.

TEAM was found to be a valid and reliable instrument and should be a useful addition to clinicians' tool set for the measurement of teamwork during medical emergencies, and further evaluation is warranted to fully determine its psychometric properties.

Major findings include: vital sign aberrations predict risk, monitoring patients more effectively may improve outcome, and the workload implications of monitoring on the clinical workforce have not been explored, but are amenable to study and should be investigated.

The introduction of SPI1 was associated with improvements in one of the types of clinical process studied (monitoring of vital signs) and one measure of staff perceptions of organisational climate and there was no additional effect of SPI 1 on other targeted issues nor on other measures of generic organisational strengthening.

The results suggest that a routine use of simple physiological tests can be of help in the identification of patients at risk, and even modified - and simplified - MET-criteria proved to be able to single out patients with elevated mortality as compared to the rest of the hospital population.

One out of five patients in the general wards developed abnormal vital signs during the 2-month study period and these patients had a 3-fold increased 30-day mortality and for almost half of the patients, nursing staff were unaware of their abnormal vital Signs.
