But, every system is different, and implementation strategies will vary from hospital to hospital. Guided by expert faculty, Web&ACTION: Preventing Avoidable Deaths with Rapid Response Teams will help your team develop an optimal plan specific to your organization. Learn how to: * Review codes and identify trends in your emergency room * Assign the appropriate staff and identify critical expertise * Predict the number of calls a RRT will answer each month * Establish protocols and procedures * Run a successful pilot and collect pertinent data * Spread and sustain remarkable results Start saving lives.
