What makes ViCTOR different?
What makes ViCTOR different to other newborn and paediatric observation charts:
- All observations are visualised on one page (A3 portrait)
- Each chart varies in vital sign increments according to the specific paediatric age group.
- Heart rate, respiratory rate and blood pressure all scale in smaller increments (e.g. 5mmHg) compared to adult charts indicating that ‘small changes can imply bigger concerns’
- Modifications are viewed in-line with the corresponding vital sign.
Branding the charts
Can we put our logo on the charts?
No. The charts come in a standardised format and layout and are unable to consider individual organisations logos or branding. The ViCTOR charts have been purposely designed and tested for clinician useability therefore the project team do not want to risk altering the charts in any way. Also, through the benefit of bulk Statewide printing, ViCTOR users are directly benefiting from a combined $100,000 per year in print savings.

e-ViCTOR
Does ViCTOR come in an electronic format?
Despite many sites planning an electronic medical record (eMR), our project focuses solely on paper charts. For ViCTOR to merge into an eMR version, we (the VICTOR project team) cannot stipulate how this should be achieved, this is up to your organisation and their agreed eMR vendor.
Broadly, if you are considering e-ViCTOR, we do recommend the following:
- that it incorporates the ViCTOR colours (orange and purple),
- that you have the capacity to trends the vital signs over time and
- that you utilise the evidence that was built into the charts for the age specific escalation ranges. For more information contact the ViCTOR team on support@victor.org.au
Print Quantities
Is there a minimum amount I can purchase?
The charts come in packets of 100 for the ViCTOR, Newborn and SCN Fluid charts, or packets of 50 for the Urgent Care and Paediatric Fluids charts.
These are the minimum amount per age group that you can purchase. If you have any other specific printing questions, please contact Peter Watson from Allanby Press via peterw@allanbypress.com.au or call (03) 9811 2000

Assessment Guides
What is the ViCTOR assessment guide?
The ViCTOR assessment guide (for use with the original ViCTOR charts) was designed to assist the user to interpret the patients observations and includes respiratory and pain assessment tools. The guide comes in a A4 page and lanyard format, and can be downloaded below or professionally printed with order codes via the ViCTOR register page
