It may also have significant adverse effects on healthcare organisations and clinical staff. Recent awareness of this problem has resulted in a better understanding of the causes of suboptimal care, and has led to the development of guidelines and recommendations for the care of the acutely ill patient in the non-critical areas of hospitals.
