Brief Summary: The study evaluates whether implementing a wireless monitoring system for patients admitted to hospital wards reduces mortality and cardiopulmonary failure
Detailed Description: The trial is designed as a stepped-wedge cluster RCT Hospital wards which constitute clusters in this design will be randomized to have wireless monitoring 7 wards at a time with each 7 wards constituting a sequence The study consists of 5 periods of two-month sequences followed by a one-month transition time with a phased introduction of the intervention In the first period all wards will have no wireless monitoring After a baseline period of 2 1 washout months the intervention monitoring system will be implemented in a randomly selected new sequence every 3-month period until the intervention is implemented in all sequences
