Robin, We have an alert built into our EMR. When 2 SIRS criteria, as it relates to vital signs, are met the EMR places a flashing alert in the ED physicians' column to let them know that there is a potential septic patient. They are supposed to click off "suspected infection" or "no suspected infection" and treat accordingly.
