METHODS: A prospective mixed methods implementation study was conducted in 2019. The central EWS component, the track and trigger age-specific charts included family or clinician concern.

Family resources as posters and brochures were used to promote family involvement. The System was trialled in six purposively selected metropolitan and country sites to evaluate feasibility and acceptability by chart utilisation audits, staff surveys/focus groups and interviews with parents whose children were inpatients.
