Are You Using a Nurse Driven Protocol to Reduce Vital Sign Monitoring?

There's a couple of studies that looked at kind of an interdisciplinary role for nurses doing a nurse driven protocol to decrease vital sign monitoring, especially overnight. In those studies, they actually did not show any increase in ICU transfers. They didn't show any increase like rates of decompensation for those patients either. And so it sort of suggests that, you know, maybe this is an avenue we could pursue in thinking about ways to decrease our vital sign checks,especially overnight.
