AbstractThe hospital rapid response system (RRS) is a patient safety and quality intervention that responds quickly to clinical deteriorations on general wards with the goal of preventing cardiopulmonary arrests, reducing hospital mortality, and facilitating triage and level of care escalations. The RRS is one of the first organized, and systematic, elements of the "ICU without walls" model. RRSs have been shown to be effective in preventing deterioration to cardiopulmonary arrest on general hospital wards and reducing total and unexpected hospital mortality. Recent studies have demonstrated that this benefit can be enhanced through targeted improvements and modifications of existing RRSs.Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
