This is a very good news, I read Original article (http://thejournalofmhealth.com/patientrack-to-help-nhs-trusts-adopt-news2-more-quickly/), and here are the key highlights I found

News2= new national early warning score

Acute hospital and ambulance trusts across England have now been tasked by NHS England with fully adopting NEWS2 for adult patients by March 2019, in a move intended to help hospitals to do more to spot the signs of patient deterioration earlier.

Commenting on this mandate, Donald Kennedy, managing director at Patientrack, which has worked with trusts for a number of years to ensure effective use of the original NEWS, said: “We have started important work with our NHS customers to ensure the swift adoption of NEWS2 in their organisations. Technology has shown to be a powerful way to make it easier for healthcare professionals to consistently use early warning scores in order to identify at risk patients, and to trigger necessary interventions.
“As we continue to work with hospitals where Patientrack is already implemented, to help make their NEWS2 transition easy, we would welcome the opportunity to work with many more hospitals across the country.
