| Concept | National Early Warning Score (NEWS) |
| Description | NEWS (National Early Warning Score) is a simple score used to provide an objective indication of a patient's degree of clinical deterioration. This version follows guidance issued by the UK Royal College of Physicians. |
| Use | Use to record a composite score to support assessment of the degree of clinical deterioration in an unwell patient, over the age of 16 years. |
| Misuse | Not to be used to record each physical measurement or clinical observation. Use specific OBSERVATION archetypes for this purpose - OBSERVATION.blood_pressure, OBSERVATION.pulse, OBSERVATION.respirations, OBSERVATION.body_temperature, OBSERVATION.avpu, CLUSTER.ambient_oxygen or OBSERVATION.indirect_oximetry. Not to be used for children/teens under the age of 16 years or in pregnancy. |
| Purpose | To record a composite score based on categorising physiological readings and observations, as a simple method to support objective assessment of the degree of clinical deterioration in an unwell patient over the age of 16 years. |
