This study is designed to test two new risk scores - one designed to predict a patient's four-hour risk of developing sepsis and one designed to predict a patient's four-hour risk of deterioration (cardiac arrest, death, unplanned ICU transfer, or rapid response team call). The goal of this study is to improve provider awareness of a patient's risk of these two negative outcomes by providing them with new risk scores. The primary outcome will be the time from when the risk score becomes elevated to when vital signs such as heart rate or blood pressure are measured, suggesting an increased awareness.

Time To Vital Sign Measurement
Timeframe: From time of elevation of either the Sepsis Early Prediction System (SEPSys) or RESCUE Score to measurement of vital signs, assessed continually during the hospitalization (up to 24 hours after the elevation)).
