We are in the infancy/pilot stage of inpatient screening. So far, we continue
to screen, but only trigger a further workup if there are changes from the
previous screen (ie: higher RR or HR, new fever, etc…). I would be very
interested to hear what other sites are doing. We still have a lot to learn
about this…

Subject: [Sepsis Groups] Repeat sepsis screens.
Can anyone tell me what they do about pt who have repeat positive screens
within 24 hrs of the first screen? Do you stop screening once a patient screens
positive? If so how long do you stop screens? How do you track and restart the
screens when the time period is over?
