The National Early Warning Score (NEWS) was developed to improve the detection of and response to clinical deterioration in adult patients with acute illness. NEWS is a recognised and validated tool. The original NEWS was published by the Royal College of Physicians (RCP) in 2012, with an updated version (NEWS2) being released in 2017.
NEWS2 is a simple aggregate scoring system in which a score is allocated to physiological measurements. Six physiological parameters are measured:
- Respiration rate
- Oxygen saturation
- Systolic blood pressure
- Pulse rate
- Level of consciousness or new confusion
- Temperature
