AbstractThe rapid response team has been proposed as an effective strategy for reducing failure-to-rescue rates among adult inpatients; however, there is little research evidence to support the recommendation. This exploratory study used survey and administrative data to describe rapid response team characteristics and penetration among hospitals in a large metropolitan area while tracking corresponding failure-to-rescue rates among surgical inpatients over 5 years. The findings are promising and invite further investigation.
