Overview
Hospital rapid response teams are "multidisciplinary team most frequently consisting of intensive care unit trained personnel who are available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week for evaluation of patients who develop signs or symptoms of severe clinical deterioration."[1]
Structure
Hospital rapid response teams have four components:[2]
- The afferent limb identifies clinical deterioration in patients and triggers a response.
- The efferent limb "is the response, which includes both the personnel and the equipment brought to the patient."
- Patient safety and quality improvement constitute the third component, which monitors performance of the system and provides feedback.
- Administration and governance
Afferent limb

The presence of a physician may not improve effectiveness.[3]
Effectiveness
The use of hospital rapid response teams are associated with reduced mortality.[4][3]
