Rapid Response Team
If you’re concerned that your or a loved one’s condition is worsening while staying at a Cone Health hospital, request Condition HELP to activate our Rapid Response Team.
What’s the Rapid Response Team?
The Rapid Response Team works with your health care team to provide additional resources and care. The team consists of specially trained health care professionals, including:
- Critical care nurse

When to Request Condition HELP
Begin by bringing any concerns to your current health care team. You then may request Condition HELP if you continue to experience serious issues with:
- Communication issues
- Care planning or management
- How a patient’s condition is—or is not—being addressed
