I had the same question...will submission to meet the measure be possible from/through the Surviving Sepsis Campaign Data base? Once again thank you so much to all that replied to my original thread regarding the bundle spec manual publication being imminent! This list-serv and community of sepsis experts who are all just as passionate as I am about the important work surrounding sepsis is an invaluable resource and so very, very much appreciated! Thank you again!

She received it from [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> this morning Subject: [hiqrimprove-poc-notify] Implementation of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: Management Bundle Measure (NQF #0500) The purpose of this email is to notify hospitals participating in the Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Program that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will require data collection of the Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: Management Bundle measure (NQF #0500) beginning with October 1, 2015 discharges. This measure was adopted for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 payment determination in the Calendar Year (CY) 2015 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) Final Rule. CMS continues to believe that this is an important area for measurement given that mortality rates range from 16-49% and that sepsis is one of the top ten most common principal causes for hospitalizations. Further, through surveillance of early effective treatment of severe sepsis or septic shock, hospitals will not only know where in the sequence of steps to treat severe sepsis and septic shock patients, but also begin to decrease mortality related to sepsis and the costs associated with inefficient care of severe sepsis and septic shock patients. With the implementation of this measure, CMS will be able to gauge if care of severe sepsis and septic shock patients is improving. The Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock measurement information, including the Measure Information Form and algorithm, and abstraction guidance will be provided in Version 5.0 of the Specifications Manual for National Hospital Inpatient Quality Measures which will be posted to QualityNet on April 1, 2015. Please do not respond directly to this email.

Has anyone else heard about this and what steps are other institutions taking to prepare for this? Also, are you planning, if you currently do so, to continue submitting data to the SSC database and then also using whatever software you currently use to submit the CMS measures?

There were several presentations on March 17 that reported on the march 12-14 International Forum on Sepsis. The roundtable included experts from the international world and focused on Reducing the Global Burden of Sepsis. Amongst the topics presented - there was dialogue of creating a new definition of sepsis as well as exploring the true validity (limited sensitivity , lack of face validity, lack of construct validity, lack of predictive validity) of the SIRS criteria. The analysis leads me to believe that the SIRS criterial will more than likely be replaced by criteria from SOFA (ICU) and qSOFA (ED and the floor). The three critical criteria mentioned on qSOFA were Respiratory Rate, BP , and Mental Status changes. There is more to come but it was an enlightening presentation.

I have been and currently still am abstracting TRIAGE TIME for "time zero". With the release of the new measure specification manual/abstraction guidelines I want to clarify that I will still abstract TRIAGE time as severe sepsis/septic shock PRESENTATION TIME even though ALL the criterion may NOT be met yet at the time of triage, i.e. for severe sepsis -1) documentation of suspected source of infection, 2) 2 SIRS criteria, and 3) organ dysfunction?
