Medical Emergency Teams: Implementation and Outcome Measurement

DeVita MA, Hillman K, Bellomo R, eds.
New York, New York: Springer Publishing; 2005


Based on successful Medical Emergency Team (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 health care professionals who wish to initiate a MET program within their own institutions. Topics covered include patient safety and quality of care; the logistics (resource allocation, process design, workflow, and training) of creating a MET; the implementation of a MET (organizational issues, challenges); and the evaluation of program results.
