The Rapid Response System (RRS) was introduced to Gunma University Hospital in 2014. We conducted a survey to clarify the status of and identify problems with this system. The results indicated that the number of RRS activations was still low, but increasing, and the number of unexpected cardiac pulmonary arrests (CPAs) had not decreased. To increase the number of RRS activations, we have adopted RRS training in nursing education, which has led to an increase in the number of activations by nurses. A review revealed that there were CPA cases in which signs of severe deterioration were overlooked. Thus, efforts should be made to identify such cases and increase the number of RRS activations.
