Abstract

Medical emergency team (MET) calls are quickly becoming an integral part of the response to a deteriorating patient in Australia. Conceptually the MET call response incorporates a structured approach, but in practice this can quickly disintegrate. This collapse of method can leave patients without clear treatment plans and staff disenfranchised. We sought to improve the process of the MET call response at our regional hospital by introducing targeted interventions focused on teamwork, communication, leadership and role allocation.
