%X Our unique rapid response system (RRS) includes a systematically organized structure by rapid response teams (RRT) and a nonorganized, nonsystematic structure for gathering hospital staffs in the scene. We examined the records of 54 patients described in this RRS. Our RRS is as follows; a medical/non-medical hospital staff who finds a victim, asks other staffs to activate the RRS by using inhospital whole paging system; predefined staffs bring predefined equipments; a standard educational course and e-learning system and a simple recording form. The mean interval between the event and the arrival of staff at the scene was 1.81 minutes. Hospital death rate per total discharged patients tended to decrease after RRS. Our unique RRS work well. The death rate among discharged patients decreased after this system was implemented.
