Game On: Unleashing Your Rapid Response Skills when Tensions Are High and Resources Are Few

Activity Summary

In this interactive session, evolving case studies about rapid response scenarios are used to teach concepts. Through a fun game-show format, the audience learns a systematic approach for assessing and treating deteriorating patients as well as strategies for facilitating an organized and efficient team effort. Critical care nurses respond and lead the rescue of patients who are acutely deteriorating in and outside of the ICU. Both clinical expertise and team leadership skills are needed to achieve the best outcome for patients (and to win in this game show).
