How are your physicians doing when it comes to screening a pt with multiple complaints? Which T-sheet or order set are they grabbing that includes all components of the sepsis measure such as ordering a lactic acid? Thank you

Instead the element about patient refusal ( sorry I forget the element name) is first which requires an entire chart search. These LOS can be long. That doesn't really make sense to me if you can otherwise quickly eliminate a transfer patient. Am I missing something? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If the patient does not have an infection, they would choose "Does not meet criteria", this helps take care of the things like fresh post op patients. Hope that helps you.

Schrad Sent: Thursday, September 03, 2015 10:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [Sepsis Groups] sepsis screening Hello Everyone, We are in the process of implementing the sepsis screening tool and bundles at our facility. We are a small rural hospital, with a 28 bed Med-Surg unit, 13 bed Orthopedic unit and a 6 bed ICU. Some of the physicians have questioned whether we should complete the screening tool on fresh post op Orthopedic patients, as they are likely to have at least one of the SIRS criteria. This may equal a lot of unnecessary lactate levels and cultures being drawn on these patients. Most of which are here for elective surgery. Could some of you share what your facility is doing?
