Since then, the concept has garnered a great deal of media attention - from the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times to small-town newspapers and television stations. Many prospective patients are choosing hospitals based on whether they employ these life-saving crews. This book is loaded with proven implementation strategies. You may be considering taking advantage of such a program. At present, more than 2,500 hospitals are reaping the benefits of RRTs.

It provides you with the know-how to put a team in place. It is loaded with forms and case studies that will help you push your organization over the hump by:
