Abstract
Sixty-three (approximately 80%) of the 81 hospitals that responded to a survey sent to all hospitals in The Netherlands with nonpediatric intensive care units had a rapid response system (RRS) in place or were in the final process of starting one. Among many other findings regarding RRS infrastructure and implementation, only 38% of the hospitals allowed nurses to activate the rapid response team without physician consent.Mesh:
