Rapid Response Team

Special Support to Prevent Emergencies

During your stay, you have access to a special service called the Rapid Response Team, or Rapid Support Team. You can call this service, and a critical-care team will check on you or your loved one and provide help before there is a life-threatening emergency.

Call for help if you notice:

• change in heart rate or blood pressure
  
• change in respiratory (breathing) rate or oxygen levels
• changes in urine output (much more or less urine)
• change in mental status or level of consciousness
• any time you are worried something might be wrong
• any change in the patient’s condition that needs immediate attention and the healthcare team is not responding, or if you continue to have serious concerns after speaking with the healthcare team
