Hello, Currently I look at data across all three sites and in all patient care areas. We have a system that captures certain data on a monthly basis. In addition, we also have reports that can be run on a daily or weekly basis. However, there are still data that needs to be pulled manually. I am in the process of developing a sepsis bundle beginning in the ED and focusing on 3 and 6 hr interventions. Do you have one to share? Thank you Lisa Dumont MSN, RN Sepsis Coordinator South Coast Hospital group [email protected]

I look at all ICU admissions for sepsis. In addition, I run a report on lactic acid results every day, and I look at all patients with a level greater than 2. Then, of course retrospectively I receive a monthly list from decision support of patients coded with DRGs 870, 871, 872 mostly so that I can focus on mortalities as it is impossible for one person to review ALL cases. At this time data collection for bundle performance is from the ED to ICU severe sepsis/septic shock group. It is not easy to find the patients in house in real time yet. Good luck!

Are you only gathering data from your septic patients in the critical care units or are you abstracting data from all sepsis patients regardless of admission to the ICU/SCCU/general medical floors? We have 1 nurse collecting data currently and are looking at ways to capture sepsis patients house wide. Attempts have been made to build reports that help to identify septic patients, however they are not very clean reports yet. I am inquiring if anyone has any additional ideas that we may try for sepsis identification house wide.
