At the 3rd International Conference on Rapid Response Systems a new technology was reported that can aid event detection and trigger medical teams to the patient bedside sooner

Today during the wrap up of the 3rd International Conference on Rapid Response Systems (RRS), U.S. experts and medical professionals from other nations reported that many hospital deaths are preventable. In the U.S. nearly 100,000 people died last year of hospital infections acquired during the hospital stay. RRS conference course director Michael DeVita, MD, is a strong proponent of integrating RRS as an improvement to hospital quality and care. DeVita is also the Professor of Critical Care Medicine and Internal Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, and Associate Medical Director at UPMC Presbyterian Shadyside Hospital, part of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC).
