Aim: The rapid response system (RRS) has become well known as a patient safety system to reduce adverse in-patient events, and it is also required to respond to patients in the outpatient department. However, only few studies have reported on the RRS in the outpatient department. We analysed the current status of the RRS in the outpatient department based on a multicentre online registry in Japan.
Methods: This is a prospective multicentre observational study. Among the cases registered in the RRS online registry from January 2014 to March 2018, cases from the outpatient department, consisting of the general outpatient department, radiation department, dialysis department, endoscope department, rehabilitation department, and the surrounding areas were eligible for this study.
Results: A total of 6784 cases were registered, and 1022 cases were included. The main reason for activation was altered mental status (39.1%). Incomplete vital sign recording at activation was 67.0%, whereas body temperature (57.0%) and respiratory rate (36.4%) deficits were frequent. The most common intervention during RRS activation was fluid bolus (38.2%) and oxygen supplementation (30.9%). The general outpatient department accounted for nearly half of the activation locations. The 30-day mortality rate for the location was significantly higher in the dialysis department (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: We have reported the first study of RRSs in outpatient departments at multicentre facilities in Japan. The difference in the mortality rate for the location was clarified. Future tasks will involve clarifying the RRS outcome indicators in the outpatient department and examining the effectiveness thereof.
