title: Don't have an ICU? you can still have an RRT.
abstract: Insufficient staffing, need for physician coverage of the rapid response team, other reasons for alternate models. ED and ICU nurses can be cross-trained to cover each other's units and the RRT. EMS staff can also be used, especially when many also are RNs.
