Background
National Emergency Access Target (NEAT)
Do time improvements = quality improvements?

Background
What else……..?
Rapid Response Team (RRT)
Including Cardiac Arrest (CA)

Project Aims1. Compare ED LOS for
a. Patients requiring emergency activation
With
b. Patients admitted through the ED that did not
have an event
2. Describe Characteristics and outcomes of emergency activation

Methods
• Design: retrospective observational cohort study• Setting: PAH• Timeframe: June 1st – Nov 30th 2014• Databases 1. RRT and CA database (combined and separate) 2. EDIS3. HBCIS• Ethics

Results: Diagnosis
• Admission diagnosis on EDIS– I-J ICD 10 codes are cardio-respiratory diagnoses– 61 patients (19.14%) from early RRT/CAT from ED
admission group– 2994 patients (31.9%) from no RRT/CAT group– No significant differences in • Age• Gender• After hours presentation • ED LOS

Conclusion
• 1.79% of ED admissions have early RRT/CAT• ED LOS was longer in the RRT patient group• No evidence to suggest NEAT increases rate of
RRT
