NQF Safe Practices
In 2003, the National Quality Forum (NQF) identified the RRS as a chief example of a team intervention serving the safe practice element of Team Training and Team Interventions RRSs are viewed as an ideal example of safe practices in teamwork meeting the objective of establishing a proactive systemic approach to team-based care
In 2006, the NQF updated their Safe Practices recommendations NQF continues to endorse RRSs and concludes that annually organizations should formally evaluate the opportunity for using rapid response systems to address the issues of deteriorating patients (NQF, 2006)
