ARDMORE, OK--Mercy Hospital in Ardmore will now be able to get kids the help they need faster. The new "Pediatric Early Warning Signs Program" uses colors to indicate how severe a Child's case is.

Green means stable, as the colors progress toward red it means the patients' condition is more severe. Nurses said the program helps nurses, doctors, and parents to understand their child's condition. The program went live in all Mercy Hospitals today.
