RESTORE2

RESTORE2 is a physical deterioration and escalation tool for care/nursing homes based on nationally recognised methodologies including early recognition (Soft Signs), the national early warning score (NEWS2) and structured communications (SBARD).

RESTORE2 was co-produced by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Integrated Care Board (HIOW ICB) and Wessex Patient Safety Collaborative (PSC). 

It is designed to support homes and health professionals to:

• Recognise when a resident may be deteriorating or at risk of physical deterioration
• Act appropriately according to the residents care plan to protect and manage the resident
• Obtain a complete set of physical observations to inform escalation and conversations with health professionals
• Speak with the most appropriate health professional in a timely way to get the right support
• Provide a concise escalation history to health professionals to support their professional decision making.

Named RESTORE2mini, the Soft Signs based tool has also been adapted for use in care settings including Care Homes, Domiciliary/Home care and Learning Disability.
