Hospitals with strong and consistently activated rapid response teams (RRTs) have significantly fewer cardiac arrests. Early recognition of clinical deterioration supports the timely activation of RRTs, which increases earlier assessment and intervention. Current early warning tools are not sufficient and reliable for recognizing patient deterioration, and they are evolving, incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) to identify clinical decline much earlier. The project organization had previously implemented the medical early warning score tool into the RRT nurses’ practice to prioritize patient assessments, but this was not sustained due to its unreliability in identifying patients at risk.
