Clinical Deterioration Tools

I was curious people's experience with EMR based warning systems implemented to detect clinical deterioration and trigger alarms/warnings. We are implementing one based on several instances of human error that led to poor outcomes, but the data I've seen isn't very compelling that these systems do much more than increase ICU transfers. Does that fit with people's own experience or have people actually noticed a benefit to the systems being implemented? Just curious.
