Tiivistelmä	Medication Reconciliation is a systematic process of identifying and resolving discrepancies between the medications a patient should be taking and what they are actually taking. Endorsed by The Joint Commission as a National Patient Safety Goal, medication reconciliation occurs at critical transition points such as hospital admission, transfer between units, and discharge. The process reduces medication errors and adverse drug events that can result from omissions, duplications, or interactions.	The Early Warning Score (EWS), most commonly known as the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) in the UK, is a standardized tool for identifying acutely unwell patients at risk of deterioration. Developed by the Royal College of Physicians and validated through research by Smith, Prytherch, and colleagues, NEWS combines vital sign measurements and supplemental oxygen use to generate a composite score. High NEWS scores trigger escalated care responses, enabling early intervention before critical illness develops.
