Digital PEWS documentation¶
Digital PEWS is an open-source scoring and observation-chart component for integration into a wider clinical system. It is not a complete PEWS solution or an observation-entry system. No clinically approved release has been designated.
Development now continues independently under OHTF, following RCPCH's indefinite pause of its PEWS work. Original copyright and attribution are retained; ongoing RCPCH sponsorship is not implied.
Choose a demonstration scenario to explore the chart with synthetic data, or start with the integration guide. The chart remains an independent, framework-neutral component; Zensical provides this site's header, navigation and search.

About this documentation¶
The site uses Zensical, with navigation for integrators, clinical reviewers and contributors. Specifications, safety records and source provenance are staged from their authoritative repository files rather than maintained twice.
Documentation is the site-root landing page. The standalone harness remains at demo.html, and old /docs/ paths on this site redirect to their new locations. Scenario pages preserve the documentation header and sidebar while isolating the chart in an iframe. Preview and build instructions describe the documentation-only toolchain.
