Hello all, A patient is initially admitted as OBS, changed to inpatient status 2 days later. The only criteria for sepsis I can find is on the initial day of the visit (OBS), nothing to qualify her for sepsis once she has been admitted to inpatient status.
My question...Am I to look at the days when the patient was OBS? Or only abstract the inpatient days? Thanks for your help!
