Resuscitation Plans are integrated with Between the Flags functionality in eMR. The decisions recorded in the Resuscitation Plan will be reflected in the BTF Observation Chart and can affect Altered Calling Criteria.

If 'No' is selected in the Rapid Response Calls section of the Resuscitation Plan, the corresponding section is locked in the Altered Calling Criteria in BTF.
