Statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: The findings demonstrated a significant improvement in knowledge after training (p = 0.00), indicating the effectiveness of the intervention in enhancing clinical readiness among medical staff. Conclusion: EWS training plays a vital role in strengthening the clinical competencies of doctors and nurses. Its routine implementation can serve as a practical strategy to enhance early detection systems and improve patient safety and care quality in hospital settings.
