This study evaluates the implementation of an Automated Early Warning Scoring System (AEWSS) in enhancing patient safety in the inpatient ward of Kasih Ibu General Hospital, Denpasar. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, FGDs, observations, and document analysis. Findings indicate that AEWSS effectively enables early detection of patient deterioration via real-time physiological parameter monitoring, accelerates medical response (from an average of 15 minutes to 5 minutes), and prevents Adverse Events. The system also improves medical staff efficiency by reducing nurses’ administrative workload by 30% and supports clinical decision accuracy through objective scoring. Key challenges include unstable network infrastructure (affecting 15% of rooms), specialist physician resistance, and uneven training. The implications highlight the need for infrastructure investment, regular training, and integrated AEWSS-Electronic Medical Records (EMR) protocols to optimize patient safety.
