Frequently Asked Questions

NEWS2 (National Early Warning Score 2) is a standardised system used to identify patients at risk of deterioration by assessing key physiological observations and assigning a score.

NEWS2 observations include respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, systolic blood pressure, pulse, level of consciousness, temperature and oxygen use.

INEWS (Irish National Early Warning System) supports the early recognition of acute illness and patient deterioration in Irish healthcare settings through standardised physiological observations.

ISBAR stands for Identify, Situation, Background, Assessment and Recommendation. It provides a structured way for healthcare professionals to communicate concerns about a deteriorating patient.

Cues for caution are clinical signs or concerns that may indicate deterioration even when a NEWS2 score is not high. Healthcare professionals should consider the patient's overall clinical condition.
