Reviews
“This is the second edition of a multiauthored book describing the theory and organization of teams designed to identify patients developing critical illness outside the intensive care unit. … Clinical leadership in hospitals considering or featuring a Rapid Response System are an appropriate audience for this work, along with their administrative partners. … This update reflects studies in literature produced since the first edition was published in 2011.” (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, November, 2017)
