MAGNET® STORIES
Consequently, RRT mortality rate increased
from 19.1% (CY 2017) to 23.8% (CY 2018). Due
to this emerging concern, key stakeholders
(intermediate and acute care, rapid response,
flex team, nurse educators, administrative
house supervisors, patient relations, and APPs/
Physicians) rallied as a united front. Using Lean
Purple Belt methodology, the group inaugurated
the " Rebranding of the Rapid Response Consult
Nurse Role " project. The aims were as follows:
The consult nurse name transitioned to
Critical Response Nurse (CRN), which
distinguished the role from the Rapid
Response Activation System. This cultivated
early use comfortability and reduced misuse
for patients that met rapid response criteria.
Defined concise consult guidelines with
designated time frames of expected response.
CRN Epic order developed an accessible
electronic pathway for end users.
Mobilized CRNs, as a resource for patients
with ICU orders, in non-ICU settings.
Standardized documentation and
communication for CRNs, which solidified
closed-loop dialogue, by using standard
Epic note and post-huddle debrief.
Nurse champions created unit-based
newsletters/MDI boards to promote
education, indoctrinate role change, and
showcase positive anecdotal stories.
The " Rebranding of the Rapid Response Consult
Nurse Role " project was selected as 2021 Spread
of Innovations winner. This project was spread
throughout UNCMC's main campus adult acute
care areas. Before propelling forward, an acute
care mini-pilot was completed, which explored
unique needs, examined for unforeseen gaps,
