At Sutter Health we piloted RRT response to positive sepsis screens and now are implementing Standard Work in which the bedside RN calls RRT for positive screen -> the RRT confirms and if so calls a Sepsis Alert. This mobilizes other team members; lab, house sup/dispo RN, alerts pharmacy, Rad, etc. The RRT RN also implements a Standardized Procedure allowing him/her to drawn labs, give 1L bolus while contacting the attending/hospitalist. IF the patient is hypotensive or develops shock - the next level of alert (ICU transfer) is a CODE SEPSIS. Standardized procedure attached. (we have a different one for the ED that does not involve the RRT)
