Nurses and physicians who work on intervention units will have the CONCERN Score column integrated into their EHR patient list. The color-coded CONCERN score icon (red, yellow, green, and gray), which indicates the level of patient risk for deterioration, will be displayed in this column (Figure 3). The control units will not contain the CONCERN score column. Even if control group participants manage to manually add the CONCERN score column to their patient list view by themselves, only gray color (nonscores) will be displayed since their units and patients are excluded from the model.
