- Nurse practitioner-led Medical Emergency Team (MET) calls are associated with better clinical outcomes compared to those led by ICU registrars, but their cost effectiveness is less understood.
- A retrospective study analyzed the costs of MET calls over nearly two years, revealing that nurse practitioner-led calls were cheaper, with lower average costs per call than ICU registrar-led calls.
- A healthcare service performing over 101 MET calls that lead to ICU admissions annually could benefit financially by implementing a 24-hour nurse practitioner-led MET call system.
