Once a patient is declared a sepsis alert, the ED completes the 1 hour bundle (line, lab, including cultures and ivf’s/antibiotics) and then the patient is transported to an open ICU bed and orders are completed up on the floor. If there is no ICU bed, the ED initiates the bundle and completes all elements except transducing CVP as there is no CVP monitoring capability in the ED.

Our hospital average is 6 hrs and we want to change that and make it much less but don't know what the standard is across other hospitals. I would appreciate some feedback. Thank you.
