[Sepsis Groups] Sepsis Coordinator

[Meyer, Leah]

Looking for experience and best practices from hospitals that have implemented 
a sepsis coordinator position.  Specifically, please reply to the following 
questions:


* Hospital stats - how many sepsis patients do you see monthly? How 
many beds do you have at your hospital?  How long have you had a sepsis 
coordinator position in place?

* What exactly does the sepsis coordinator do and what are their 
specific responsibilities?

* How much time each month do they spend on sepsis coordination?

* Do they have additional responsibilities or is their role 100% sepsis 
only?

* Have you experienced any improvement in data metrics after 
implementing a sepsis coordinator position, such as SEP-1 compliance, sepsis 
mortality, sepsis LOS, sepsis readmissions, etc.?

Any information that anyone can provide would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!

CMS is not presently releasing benchmark data except to individual hospitals 
via QualityNet.  If you log in there from your institution you can see your 
performance.

To give you a rough sense of the data, the top performing decile of hospitals 
has  approximately 70% compliance.

Good Morning! Our organization has recently formed a Performance Excellence 
2020 Sepsis Workgroup to initiate system standardization of processes and best 
practices for our sepsis patients.  My physician leads are querying if there is 
presently a CMS benchmark for this measure.
Dr. Townsend,
I know from our webinars that presently there is not, however, would you know 
at this time how hospitals are performing nationally with an estimated 
compliance rate, i.e.
30%-50% or higher. Any input would be appreciated. Thank you.
