תקציר	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.	Nursing-Sensitive Indicators are quality metrics that measure healthcare outcomes significantly influenced by nursing care. Developed by the American Nurses Association (ANA) and maintained through the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI), these indicators assess hospital-acquired complications, staffing levels, nurse-sensitive outcomes, and other dimensions of care quality. They serve as benchmarking tools for evaluating nursing practice effectiveness and organizational performance.
