title: Using an advanced practice nursing model for a rapid response team.
abstract: Outcomes, including reductions in codes per 1,000 discharges, failure-to-rescue rates, and medical-surgical mortalities and improvement in staff satisfaction, were all indicative of the efficacy of the APN-model RRT. Future studies might compare these outcomes with those of other team models.
