The process at our organization is that nurses routinely screen for sepsis, and if they encounter a positive severe sepsis screen, when documenting in the EMR, an automatic page goes to the RRT. They come and screen the patient, and if deemed positive, they call critical care intensivists to intervene. We also have a proactive RRT and are adding a positive sepsis screen to their observation list for patients to watch out for.
