The associations between rapid response systems and their components with patient outcomes: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While rapid response systems have been widely implemented, their impact on patient outcomes remains unclear. Further understanding of their components-including medical emergency team triggers, medical emergency team member composition, additional roles in patient care beyond responding to medical emergency team events, and their involvement in "Do-Not-Resuscitate" order placement-may elucidate the relationship between rapid response systems and outcomes.

Objective

To explore how recent studies have examined rapid response system components in the context of relevant adverse patient outcomes, such as in-hospital cardiac arrests and hospital mortality.

Design

Scoping review.

Methods

PubMed, CINAHL, and Embase were searched for articles published betwe
