Medical Emergency Teams

Medical Emergency Teams: A Manual for Preventing Preventable Hospital Deaths addresses the problem of patient safety and quality of care., the logistics of creating a MET (resource allocation, process design, workflow, and training)., the implementation of a MET (organizational issues, challenges)., and the evaluation of program results. Based on successful MET models that have resulted in reduced in-hospital cardiac arrest and overall hospital death rates, this book is the first practical guide for physicians, hospital administrators, and other healthcare professionals who wish to initiate a MET program within their own institutions.
