A Rapid Response Team (RRT) System at a Cancer Center: Innovative Approaches to System Organization and Clinical RRT Pathways.

ABSTRACT: The Rapid Response Team (RRT) system at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center led by critical care medicine (CCM) advanced practice providers (APPs) expanded exponentially between 2009 and 2021. CCM-APPs are trained for care of critically ill patients as well as to oversee rapid response calls. The RRT is composed of a CCM-based RRT-APP, respiratory therapist, RRT-RN, and nursing supervisor. Since program inception, 11 RRT pathways and interventions have been developed and adjusted to improve multidisciplinary patient management. Pathways vary in complexity and require multidisciplinary collaboration. In some circumstances, the RRT patient may require transfer to outside facilities for services not provided at our oncology-based facility. RRT data are tracked across the hospital continuum
