Early warning scores detect clinical deterioration hours before a cardiac arrest or a sepsis crisis. NEWS2 was adopted across the UK NHS specifically because it reduces unexpected ICU admissions, code blue events, and mortality. qSOFA screens for sepsis using three bedside observations that require zero lab work. SOFA quantifies organ failure severity on a 0 to 24 scale.

Most hospitals track vitals. Almost none compute these scores automatically. The data is there. The scoring is not.

Here is a pipeline that takes a table of ICU patient vitals, computes all three scores for every patient, and generates a priority sorted risk report.
