We are going live in two weeks. We have built a sepsis screening tool into epic- but it doesn't pull the VS. We have also built a note- which does pull VS and pertinent information from the flowsheets and labs. In our optimization phase, I hope to build a BPA that will trigger the RN or MD to screen for sepsis if they have an elevated lactate and 2+ SIRS signs. At this point, it is not linked to an order set- but we do have an ED order set and an inpatient order set built- our inpatient order set does link to the guidelines. We have paper screening tools which will continue to be used during the transition until we can fine tune the electronic workflow. All of that said, I haven't even seen Epic in action yet, but this is where we are starting. I would love to hear what others are doing so that we can incorporate anything that works well into our system as we move forward!

Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2013 12:39 PM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [Sepsis Groups] EPIC facilities and ED Sepsis Hello, This question is for Epic hospitals. I was wondering if any you have a validated and reliable Epic built solution for early recognition of sepsis in the ED. We are open to any solution that is Epic-based. We want a solution that pulls the data (vitals, complaint, labs) and alerts of a sepsis risk and allows the staff to easily use the sepsis protocol (a direct link to an orderset). We are open to any other ideas as well. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
