ABSTRACT Aims Resuscitation plans document the mutually agreed medical care of hospital inpatients in an acute deterioration, including decisions regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), rapid response calls (RRCs), and other specific interventions. The aim of this study was to examine the resuscitation plan completion rate among all medical oncology inpatients after the introduction of a 100% completion target. We concurrently examined the outcomes of medical oncology inpatients subject to a RRC to investigate medium‐ and long‐term patient outcomes. Methods A prospective real‐time longitudinal audit of resuscitation plan completion was conducted of all medical oncology admissions over 3 months. Completion of a resuscitation form at any time, and within 72 h, was recorded. RRC information was obtained from the preceding 6 months. RRC data included event time and trigger, patient tumor type and treatment intent, available resuscitation plan at RRC, patient disposition after RRC, survival to discharge, and to future cancer treatment.
