Summary
The study will begin in 2013 whereby patients having an early warning system (EWS) alert will be randomized to be seen by the rapid response team (RRT) for triage versus usual care. A RRT is usually made up of a nurse and/or a physician who respond to a requested activation of the RRT (called an "ACT"). The intervention will occur as follows:
