    Background:

    • Hospitalized patients face risks from unrecognized clinical deterioration.
    • Rapid Response Teams (RRTs) are a global strategy to enhance patient safety.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the literature on Rapid Response Teams (RRTs).
    • To explore RRT characteristics, operational models, impacts, and implementation strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
    • Databases searched include CINAHL, MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and ProQuest.
    • Keywords: "health care team" and "rapid response team".

    Main Results:

    • 121 articles were analyzed, categorized by RRT composition/operation, benefits/limitations, perceptions, and implementation.
    • Limited studies address RRT composition's impact on patient outcomes.
    • Research gaps exist in understanding RRT operational specifics, overall patient impact, and organizational/patient perspectives.

    Conclusions:

    • Further research is essential to clarify the impact of RRT composition on patient outcomes.
    • More studies are needed to define optimal RRT functioning and implementation strategies.
    • Understanding organizational and patient perceptions of RRTs is crucial for successful integration.
