Hi Steve, I am the data coordinator/abstractor for our sepsis program here. Not sure about the job description. The role was added to my existing duties. I have 3 light duty Critical Care RNs helping me gather our retrospective baseline and work on the inpatient screens that are beginning to come in from ED and MICU. The critical care background is crucial in my view. The abstraction is all done by hand, so there is no way I could do it all myself with my other duties. Possibly, it could be done, if it were my only job. Even then, I think at least one RN to help part-time, or full-time depending on your institution. We do not have a monthly total of patients yet. We got a late start, but the program is just getting bigger and will include all inpatients, as you know.

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Klahn, Steven Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 11:51 AM To: Ron Daniels; [email protected] Subject: [Sepsis Groups] EDGT Data Abstractors/Coordinator Good afternoon to all. I would like to request your assistance with one of our current challenges with sepsis data abstraction and program coordination. We are having difficulties keeping up with prompt data abstration for our large volumes of septic patients enrolled in our EGDT program. We do not have a dedicated abstractor or coordinator at this time. Would anyone be willing to share a job description for such a role? Also, in your experience what types of volumes of patient records would this one person be able to efficiently handle? What are your typical frequencies for reporting your sepsis metrics to your team? Thanks in advance for any assistance you might provide.
