Implementation and Outcome Measurement

As the editors of Medical Emergency Teams and as clinicians, we have been working on improving hospital responses to crises for more than ten years. We have learned the hard way how not to build the wrong response, how not to step on toes, how not to intimidate people from calling for help, and how not to lose focus when energizing hospital personnel to prevent deaths by responding early and in a systematic fashion.
