Wow! I so appreciate this information and how things have gone for you in regards to implementing the new system. We also, are using a "homegrown" system and hoping it will all that we expect. What do you think about me visiting when you implement your system? We are hoping to do the same in March..
Thank you again for the information and looking forward to hearing your additional results. Lisa Lisa M.

In previewing the product I am excited about it's capability. We currently have Sepsis Alert process with a paper Early Sepsis Recognition Tool. All patients, Emergency Department and Inpatient Units, have been educated with a one hour didactic class on sepsis pathophysiology and the Surviving Sepsis Campaign standards. Additionally our ICU Charge Nurse will respond to any call for patient who screens positive, regardless of location. If the patient meets criteria the patient is admitted to the ICU after consultation with the Intensivist. This process will not change with the Cerner Lighhouse product. We are trying to capture the patients earlier and with the PowerPlan standardize the care to the guidelines of the Surviving Sepsis standards. This will include an antibiotic Advisor with recommended therapy for the ED as well as maintenance once admitted to the inpatient unit. One issue we have been unable to resolve is the Cerner ED documentation system (FirstNet) does not allow orders to cross over to the inpatient side of care so the Sepsis PowerPlan must be reordered after admission. For us this will not be an issue as our Intensivists are in house 24 hours a day. I can see this being an issue for others without this resource. Another challenge was the collaboration with Cerner to get the process and PowerPlans to meet our expectations. They have their own foundation, but it will need to be adapted to each facility expectations and workflows. Our next step will be to create our orientation program for all physicians and nurses, with special emphasis on the ED and ICU. We are expecting to go live February 1 for our institution with a possible roll out to the other 9 hospitals after March 31. I will have more insight to actual function after our trial begins.
