Hello, I am interested to learn the process of how anyone's institution is implementing concurrent monitoring of SS or SSH patients. Currently, my process is to get the patient's name of suspected sepsis and I screen for the SIRS, infectious source, and the organ dysfunction. Unfortunately, most of my chart reviews are done retrospectively, usually days after initial presentation, thus not allowing appropriate time to help intervene to encourage use of the protocol.
There is ongoing education within the facility of the nursing staff, hopefully getting nurses to call a rapid response, which I will respond to and there is a specific Sepsis protocol to follow. But I was curious to see if anyone has a great program that wouldn't mind sharing how they go about monitoring their patients and interventions. Thanks for your time!
