Hospital system barriers to rapid response team activation: a cognitive work analysis.

February 18, 2015

Braaten JS. Am J Nurs. 2015;115(2):22-32; test 33; 47.

Using case stories and direct quotes from frontline nurses, this study explores the barriers to appropriately activating rapid response teams. For example, the nurses in this study suggested that calling a rapid response is felt to only be justifiable in extreme situations rather than beforehand, which severely limits the potential effectiveness of this intervention.
