Barie; Hesham Hassaballa; <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Sepsis Groups] Mortality I have a question for the establishing mortality rate: Do you include a patient that is transfered out of the ICU but later expires on the floor in the mortality rate? or Do you only count the patients that expire while in the ICU? Michelle Corder PIH Health From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Philip S. Barie [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, December 27, 2013 10:39 AM To: Hesham Hassaballa; <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Sepsis Groups] Mortality Yes, unless you can prove it to be completely unrelated. Which, it seems as though you cannot. From: [email protected] [[email protected]] on behalf of Hesham Hassaballa [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, December 24, 2013 4:28 PM To: <[email protected]> Subject: [Sepsis Groups] Mortality I have a question: A patient was admitted with septic shock, and we successfully treated him and he survived to ICU discharge. Approximately 17 days later, he codes and dies on the floor (unknown reason why) the day before he was slated to be discharged from the hospital. Does this really count against our sepsis mortality?
