Colt, Our problem with this is that our urgent care if off-site and cannot draw blood cultures, so no, we are not doing prehospital antibiotics.

In the past we have been waiting until they were triaged in the ED, however based on recent studies we have realized the earlier the antibiotic the better for our patients. How do we put this into the Surviving Sepsis database and submit to CMS? Will our Triage to Antibiotic time be considered 0? Is anyone else looking at how to measure times concerning pre-hospital antibiotics? Colt F.
