Patient Outcomes Associated With Delayed Rapid Response System Activation: A Retrospective Comparative Study
… between patients who experienced a delay in Rapid Response System (RRS) activation and those patients who had no delay.</p> <p><strong>Rationale: </strong>There is evidence to support that the RRS is often not activated in a timely manner potentially leading to negative patient outcomes.</p> …

The role of intuition in nurses who activate the Rapid Response Team (RRT) in medical-surgical and telemetry units
… and Jones (2011) reported, "Nurses viewed the Rapid Response Team (RRT) as a way to call for help when they knew something was wrong, especially when they could not pinpoint the cause" (p. 268). This study and other evidence suggest that additional research is needed to better understand …
