Rebranding the
Rapid Response
Consult Nurse Role
At UNC Medical Center (UNCMC), it
is our shared goal to provide the best
patient experience that reflects our
commitment to caring and safety.
In addition, we remain active partners with the Institute
of Healthcare Improvement's (IHI) Save 5 Million Lives
Campaign, a national initiative to reduce intrahospital
mortality and morbidity. One part of this initiative is to
deploy a Rapid Response Team (RRT) at the first sign of
patient clinical changes. To add an innovative layer to
the Adult Rapid Response System initiative at UNCMC, a
collaborative task force developed an adjunct role, the rapid
response consult nurse. A rapid response consult nurse is a
specially trained critical care nurse that serves as a resource
to intermediate/acute care nurses and assists them in
implementing current nursing policies, educational guidance,
and engaging in direct patient care. This role establishes
preventative care through timely interventions, enhanced
team dynamics, and early recognition of patient needs.
In 2018, it was recognized that intermediate patients were
increasing in acuity, had varying complexities of care needs,
and were at risk for refractory deterioration.
