Clinical surveillance in nursing includes several key components:
Vital Signs Monitoring: Continuous tracking of vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. Electronic Health Records (EHR): Integration of patient data from various sources to provide a comprehensive view of the patient’s health status. Alarm Systems: Automated alerts for abnormal values or trends that may indicate patient deterioration. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS): Tools that help nurses make evidence-based clinical decisions. Patient Monitoring Devices: Wearable or bedside devices that continuously monitor physiological parameters.
