Rapid Response Teams

Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) are specialized groups in healthcare settings that respond quickly to patients showing signs of deterioration or medical emergencies. Comprised of healthcare professionals like nurses, doctors, and respiratory therapists, these teams assess the situation and provide immediate care to stabilize patients. Their primary goal is to prevent complications and improve outcomes by acting swiftly, often before a situation escalates to requiring intensive care. RRTs enhance patient safety and support hospital staff, ensuring that critical interventions are available at a moment's notice.
