Rapid Response
Rapid response teams play a critical role in responding to patients who are deteriorating or experiencing a medical emergency. Research has shown that…..
InsightIQ provides specialized monitoring of patients and proactively identifies those who might be at risk of decompensation. Your Rapid Response Teams (RRT) can track patients across all care areas within your facility – accessible from the office, unit or in a command center.

Changing the Paradigm
A provider shortage is one of the core challenges for health systems today. With the help of technology, innovative healthcare organizations are reworking the Rapid Response Team (RRT) operational model to address these challenges.
- InsightIQ allows the RRT to monitor every patient in the hospital remotely, and provides a solution for identifying and managing patients that are most at risk
- Our tool also enables RRT’s to assess and intervene during the critical period prior to potential life-threatening events, such as cardiac arrest.
- By extending the highly-skilled critical care nursing team with remote and virtual nursing capabilities, our technology helps increase workforce productivity
With the introduction of Rapid Response Systems, hospitals have shown a 23% reduction in hospital mortality rate 5

Methodology: From written protocol to digitized workflow
We start with peer-reviewed protocols, bundles of care, and Early Warning Scores that are easily configurable for your hospital specific workflows, data values, and thresholds – configurable for each specific unit and patient population.
The scoring algorithms calculate a patient’s risk of deterioration based on their vital signs – such as heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation. The scores are then used to alert healthcare providers of potential risks and to trigger interventions to prevent further deterioration.

InsightIQ for Rapid Response
The Power of InsightIQ™
Digitized Protocols and Dashboards Across the Care Spectrum
Rapid Response Teams (RRT) can track patients across all care areas within your facility – accessible from office or in a command center.
- InsightIQ provides specialized monitoring for patients and proactively identifies those who might be at risk of decompensation via the National Early Warning Score (NEWS)
- Adjusting the “Score Threshold” displays only those patients with that score or higher – allowing clinicians to triage.
- When a patient’s NEWS score reaches or exceeds a certain threshold, a notification can be sent
The Patient View dashboard, displays demographics, current vital signs, vital sign trends, lab values, and bundle compliance
- This view enables patient-specific situational awareness at-a-glance during time-sensitive critical situations.
- Color coding of results, vitals, and protocol status helps clinicians prioritize attention to those most critical indicators.
- Specific digitized protocols and actionable insights helps direct clinicians to deliver timely, responsive, and compliant care to decrease care variation.
Dashboards have the ability to display an expanded view of vitals, labs or chemistry value trends.
Additionally, the expanded gives the clinicians the ability to view both active and recently discontinued medication administration details – including status, dosage, admin time as well as the possible effects of medications – superimposed on those trend lines.
Clicking on one or more medications will instantly plot the medication administration time vs. the vital signs trend. This view can also be used to confirm the medication compliance status
In this example Patient View example, an alert was sent indicating a significant rise in the Creatinine value – indicating possible issues with medications.
- A Creatinine value of 1.3 is typically within a normal range. However, in this patient’s case, their value was 0.8 a few hours earlier.
- Upon reviewing the medicications, the clinician can then either stop or alter the dosage for nephrotoxic based medications which might be contributing to early stage Acute Kidney Injury (AKI).
Reducing Failure to Rescue Events
“We are catching early decompensation for all types of patients, including heart failure….We are able to intervene on these patients early. I cannot stress enough how good this tool is”
RRT Nurse
“Rapid Response Team is notified and can respond to a patient before the bedside nurse even knows [of a problem]. We monitor the entire hospital via DECISIO and are notified when patients may be decompensating. We can actually be proactive and not reactive”
