Improving Code Response Time through Strategic Positioning of Nursing House Supervisors: Results of a Nurse-Led Intervention

Abstract

Background: In many settings, the nursing house supervisors (NHS) are a cr itical par t of the entity’s code response team. To date, much of the research on code response has focused on improving response times through staff-focused interventions such as simulation training. However, use of data to determine where to physically place NHS in the building to optimize code response times has received little attention, especially in an outpatient oncology setting.
