Article Synopsis
- Rapid response teams in hospitals save lives by providing immediate critical care expertise at the patient's bedside.

- A study at one medical center showed a reduction in codes outside critical care units with the rapid response team implementation, but overall patient mortality rates did not significantly decrease.
