“…Their multivariate analysis showed that the use of electronic identification and RRT intervention was associated with reduced mortality [odds ratio (OR) =0.62; 95% CI: 0.39-0.99; P=0.046], reduced mean ICU length of stay (2.12 days before, 95% CI: 1.97-2.34 vs. 1.95 days after, 95% CI: 1.75-2.06; P<0.001), reduced overall mean length of stay (11.7 days before, 95% CI: 10.9-12.7 vs. 9.9 days after, 95% CI: 9.3-10.6; P<0.001), reduced risk of mechanical ventilation (OR =0.62; 95% CI: 0.39-0.99; P=0.007), and savings on medical costs (per case sepsis was reduced by $7,159; P=0.036) but not vasopressor use (OR =0.89; 95% CI: 0.75-1.06; P=0.18) (22). Other researchers have studied the use of RRTs in patients with dementia (23,24).…”

Background: The emergency rapid response system (RRS) can reduce the mortality of hospitalized patients, and its core is the activation criteria and the rapid response team (RRT). This study adopted a bibliometric method to analyze the research status of RRSs for hospitalized patients. Methods:The Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) database was searched using the keywords "emergency" and "rapid response system", and the search results were analyzed using CiteSpace software. The retrieved data included the annual distribution of studies and literature citations; the source country of the literature; the distribution of institutions and authors of the literature; the cooperation between countries, institutions, and authors; the distribution of journals that published the literature, and the use of keywords in the literature.Results: A total of 1,320 research papers were found, with a total of 29,920 citations. The number of papers and their citations increased yearly. The top 5 countries in terms of number of publications were the United States, Australia, China, the United Kingdom, and Canada. The top 5 countries in terms of centrality were the United States, the United Kingdom, Argentina, the Czech Republic, and Switzerland. The research institutions were mainly located in developed countries, such as the United States and Australia. There was relatively little collaboration between researchers. The journals that published the literature mainly specialized in critical care medicine and emergency medicine. The keyword analysis revealed that most studies focused on medical emergency teams (METs) and mortality.Conclusions: There were few studies related to the emergency RRS for hospitalized patients. The majority of studies were from developed countries and mainly focused on the impact of team building and the effect of the RRS on mortality.

“…13 These teams have often been set up as a pragmatic response to the need to prevent hospital admissions and their theoretical underpinnings of crisis and crisis intervention are not explicit. 14 In addition to the United Kingdom similar services are also being introduced in other nations such as Australia, the United States, Norway, and Flanders (Belgium), 14,15 and therefore research into their suitability has international connotations.…”

Background: Crisis intervention services for people with dementia in the United Kingdom are poorly defined with no standardized model of working. This may be due to the lack of a clear conceptualization of dementia crisis, resulting in variation in national service delivery. Methods: This study employed a novel public engagement questionnaire data collection technique with 57 participants to gain an updated perspective on the concept of health-related crisis from the point of view of the public. Results: Analysis revealed crisis as a transformational moment that may arrive unexpectedly but could also be the culmination of a sequence of events. Crisis resolution requires external and expert help, and associated feelings of panic and despair can engender the task of resolution by oneself insurmountable. Conclusions: Participants had clear expectations of crisis intervention services, with initial practical and emotional support to reduce risks, and a person-centered approach with family involvement.

Government-subsidised mental health services are underused in Australian residential aged care facilities

Objective To describe patterns of use of the available Government-subsidised mental health services among people living in Australian residential aged care facilities. Methods A retrospective population-based trend analysis was conducted, including all non-Indigenous people living in an Australian facility between 2012 and 2017. Adjusted incidence proportions and trends were estimated for four groups of mental health services. Results The use of Medicare-subsidised mental health services was very low overall. The proportion of residents who accessed primary care mental health services increased from 1.3% in 2012/2013 to 2.4% in 2016/2017, while psychiatry service use increased from 1.9 to 2.3%. Claims for clinical psychology increased from 0.18 to 0.26%, and claims for a registered psychologist, occupational therapist or social worker rose from 0.45 to 1.2%. People with dementia were less likely than people without dementia to access all services aside from psychiatry services. Conclusions Less than 3% of residents accessed funding subsidies for mental health services and people with dementia experienced pronounced barriers to service access. Mental health care is a pillar of the publicly-funded health system in Australia, and low use of these services among aged care residents indicates a need for organisational and policy changes to improve access.
