Aristotle said: "The whole is more than the sum of its parts."

Abnormal physiological parameters are often reviewed in isolation. If these significantly deviate from the normal range, help is required. Very deranged values are often a late or pre-terminal sign.

Question: So what can be done to improve this?

Answer: Early Warning Score System (EWSS).

EWSS is a simple physiological scoring system that can be calculated at the patient's bedside. It uses signs that are commonly recorded in the majority of patients.
