Modified Early Warig Score Effect i the ICU Patiet Populatio Ae Rabert, RN, DHA, CCRN, NE-BC LVHN
Rapid Respose Teams (RRT) Team of credetialed health care providers who ca treat patiets wherever they are located Emergece occurred i the late 1990s based o the successful outcomes reported i Australia ad the Uited Kigdom Compositio ad fuctio of the team aligs with the orgaizatioal capabilities
RRT at LVHN Teams operatioal at the two largest acute care campuses Team composed of a critical care RN, respiratory therapist, ad hospitalist Program bega i 2007 Average 55-60 calls per moth at the larger campus ad 20-25 calls at the smaller campus
RRT Program Goal Primary goal of the RRT program is to reduce the umber of cardiac arrest outside of the ICU Program at LVHN has ot met this goal Why ad how could it?
Modified Early Warig Score (MEWS) Scorig system ratig physiologic parameters at desigated itervals Adjuctive strategy to RRT programs Proactive approach to care rather reactive approach of RRT Study its effect sice o prior use i the orgaizatio
