Lauren Raff<\/a>, MD, assistant professor in the Department of Surgery, and Evan Raff<\/a>, MD, associate professor of medicine in the division of hospital of medicine were awarded an NC TraCS Health Equity Award to improve rapid response outcomes in patients whose primary language is Spanish.<\/p>\n

The project proposes to implement a rapid response consult team that will conduct pre-emptive consults for patients whose primary language is Spanish, who are at high risk for clinical deterioration based on a disease severity scoring system in Epic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
