BACKGROUND Changes to physiological parameters precede deterioration of ill patients. Early warning and track and trigger systems (TTS) use routine physiological measurements with pre-specified thresholds to identify deteriorating patients and trigger appropriate and timely escalation of care. Patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) are undiagnosed, undifferentiated and of varying ...

Abstract The U.S. Subprime Crisis and the subsequent Great Recession have highlighted a renewed interest in proper design implementation of Early Warning Systems (E.W.S.), order to help deter onset extreme financial events, through adequate crisis detection mechanisms. present article describes Adaptive (A.E.W.S.) axiomatic approach, as natural operational extension E.W.S. testing. This novel p...

Recent estimates suggest that landslides occur in about 17.1% of the landmasses, 8.2% global population live landslide prone areas, and exposure to is expected increase. It threfore not surprising early warning gaining attention scientific technical literature, among decision makers. Thanks important technological advancements, prediction are now possible, systems (LEWSs) becoming valuable reso...

Despite the potential of new technologies and the improvements of early-warning systems since the 2004 Tsunami, damage and harm caused by disasters do not stop to increase. There is a clear need for better integrating the fragmented landscape of researchers and practitioners working on different aspects of decision support for disaster risk reduction and response. To demonstrate and discuss the...
