My first question would be, do you have a sepsis coordinator? One nurse responsible for data collection and monitoring bundle compliance etc. If the answer is no, you need to look into this. Next, your IT department needs to be on board assisting the sepsis coordinator with the data collection. Without their assistance your coordinator will drown in paperwork. They can develop the tools necessary to pull the required data. The sepsis coordinator will need to develop the data points required and IT can pull this information. A Sepsis Steering Committee, that meets regularly involving all departments will be of benefit so that all remain on the same page. There are several audit tools that others have developed, which I am sure will be shared.
Pulling these entities together will help provide the information needed to those that request it.

My hospital is asking us to monitor and report back the sepsis care. Presently we do not have any system to do this. We take info. given by outreach nurses (who are all ICU trained) to capture sepsis patients currently. This does not capture all the sepsis patients in the hospital since some patients are not that unwell to require outreach nursing care. I thought of asking all of you, especially people from UK if you have any system/way to capture all the sepsis patients in your hospital. I remember Ron Daniels replied something along this line in another e-mail few months ago. I would be grateful for your reply. Many thanks in advance Mohan Dr Mohan Ranganathan Consultant Anaesthetist Lead for sepsis George Eliot Hospital NHS Trust Nuneaton UK _______________________________________________ Sepsisgroups mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sepsisgroups.org/listinfo.cgi/sepsisgroups-sepsisgroups.org
