HOD Rapid Response Team Taskforce Aim: We will achieve a 10% reduction in our “Codes Outside of ICU” rate by December 2007
Why is this important to our patients? • Most patients who have a cardiac arrest have identifiable signs of deterioration 6-8 hrs prior to arrest • The Rapid Response Team has been implemented to “rescue” any patient who may become unstable and need immediate medical attention
Future Goals • Improve Rapid Response documentation • Investigate patent/family being able to initiate calling Rapid Response Team • Establish immediate debrief of every Code Blue • Implement House wide mock codes
