How to escalate concerns

Martha's Rule/Call 4 Concern is a patient safety initiative. We believe that patients, carers and family members know when their condition/ or that of a loved one is changing for the worse. This complements the other safety initiatives already in place at our hospitals. You can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The main focus of the outreach service is to quickly respond to patients who are deteriorating in the hospital, and forms part of our clinical site management team.
