Hi all, I know this question has been asked before, but I am looking to see who responds to Code Sepsis calls in other facilities. In our facility, once the code is initiated lab and an ICU nurse respond to the code. In ER, no one responds. The ICU nurse that responds typically has ICU patients of their own. I feel like our sepsis scores/outcomes would greatly improve if we implemented a Rapid Response nurse or something of that sort on all shifts (We do not have an actual RR team). During the weekdays, I will respond to codes to offer assistance/support. We are greatly missing out on night and weekend coverage though. Please respond with what your facility does and the impact it has so that I can help support my idea with other facilities practices. Thank you all in advance!
