At our hospital we are trying to give antibiotics within an hour for our septic 
patients.  We are finding the nurses do not always know when the blood cultures 
have been drawn.  Does anyone have a good system in place that alerts the nurse 
once they have obtained the blood cultures so then the nurse can give that 
antibiotic asap?  Any suggestions are appreciated.
