Mistry KP, Turi J, Hueckel RM, et al. Pediatric Rapid Response Teams in the Academic Medical Center. Clin Pediatr Emerg Med. 2006;7(4). doi:10.1016/j.cpem.2006.08.010.
The authors discuss the implementation of a rapid response team for pediatric patient care and introduce the concept of a team that proactively monitors patients at risk of clinical deterioration rather than waiting to assess the patient when they have been alerted to a problem.
