Comments: | Rapid response calls are part of a formal hospital-based system designed to alert and call a team of designated staff for help when a patient’s vital signs have fallen outside set criteria. A hospital may have more than 1 type of team responding to rapid response calls, particularly in the case of cardiac arrest teams, which have a longer history of urgent hospital interventions than other rapid response teams. |
