Hospitals provide inpatient and outpatient services. Inpatient services provide care to patients that stay in the hospital for an extended period, ranging from days to months. Examples of inpatient services include intensive care units, hospital wards, or surgeries. Outpatient services provide care to patients who come to a hospital for a diagnostic or treatment but do not stay overnight —for example, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, or health education.

Hospitals offer medical and surgical care to the sick and injured, along with accommodation while they recover. At the same time, they also provide outpatient, emergency, psychiatric, and rehabilitation services to meet various community needs. In addition to providing medical care, hospitals also act as hubs for medical research and training. Hospitals use clinical procedures and evidence-based practice standards to deliver patient care. To deliver safe and efficient care, a nurse must stay up...

Summary

Ward nurses across the UK utilize the Hospital at Night service for urgent patient care needs. This service provides essential support for tasks like blood sampling and responding to patient deterioration.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Operations
  • Nursing Practice
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • The Hospital at Night (H@N) service is a critical resource for ward nurses in the UK.
  • Nurses frequently contact H@N for diverse clinical and logistical support during overnight shifts.
  • Timely access to support is crucial for managing patient deterioration and ensuring continuity of care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the utilization patterns and demands placed on the UK's Hospital at Night service by ward nurses.
  • To understand the types of assistance ward nurses require during overnight hours.
  • To assess the role of the H@N service in supporting patient care and safety.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of call logs from the Hospital at Night service.
