Critical care outreach teams

Critical care outreach teams: Does the provision of a critical care outreach team in secondary care improve outcomes?
NICE 28 March 2018

• An evidence review for the "Emergency and acute medical care in over 16s: service delivery and organisation" [NICE guideline 94] identified one Cochrane review and 3 RCTs. 
• The review recommends that organisations "consider providing access to critical care outreach teams (CCOTs) for people in hospital who have, or are at risk of, acute deterioration, accompanied by local evaluation of the CCOT service".
