I would like to know the following information to see if your hospitals have been successful: 1. Is your hospital a teaching hospital? No 2. How many beds does your hospital have? 360 3. Does your hospital have a rapid response team (RRT)? Yes 4. Does the RRT respond to Septic patients? (Do you have a Code Sepsis?) Yes Nursing screening of 2 positive SIRs plus infection or suspected infection and the RRT is paged. We do not wait for organ dysfunction to start the bundle. 5. Who leads the RRT and who are the members of the Team? ICU nurse, Respiratory therapist(collects POC lactate), ED tech used for IV access and blood collection, Nursing Supervisor. 6. Do the members have other roles/ job responsibilities? Yes all of them do. 7. What metrics does the RRT measure? If you only have time to answer a few of the questions, please know that any help is appreciated. Linda G.
