• improvements in the general ward care of patients
• a reduced number of cardiac arrest calls on general wards
• earlier, and more appropriate referrals to the intensive care unit
• fewer re-admissions to the intensive care unit
• fewer avoidable in-hospital deaths
• improved decision-making regarding the resuscitation status of patients
• improved multi-professional teamwork
• improved communication
• fewer complaints from patients or their relatives
