New Sepsis/Septic  Shock Recommendations from JAMA

Question:  
Will  there be a suspension of the SEP-1 measures in consideration of the  
recommendations from the Society of Critical Care Medicine  published in  
the February 2016 issue of JAMA which:  Aim to Redefine Definition and  
Enhance Diagnosis of Sepsis,  Septic Shock

A task force of leading sepsis experts  is putting forth important, new 
recommendations for physicians. The group’s  recommendations not only advance 
new definitions for sepsis and  septic shock, but also offer clinical 
guidance to help physicians more quickly  identify patients with or at risk of 
developing sepsis. 

Answer:  
CMS  always welcomes new research and innovative thinking. We realize that 
hospitals  are curious whether the newly proposed sepsis and  septic shock 
definitions published in JAMA will replace the severe sepsis and  septic 
shock definitions specified in the SEP-1 measure. CMS is not making any  
immediate changes to the current definitions as specified in the SEP-1 measure. 
 
However, CMS is reviewing the new information, and will release a more 
detailed  response to the JAMA articles in the near future.

Hi,
There are some changes coming  with July updates in regards to crystalloid 
fluid administration, especially  the rate and bolus requirements. Have not 
heard anything about incorporation  of new Sepsis-3 definition into CMS 
guidelines.
Thank you,

Subject: [Sepsis Groups] Are updated  SSC Guidelines coming for 2016

Good Afternoon,

I'm wondering if  anyone is "in the know" as to whether or not the 2012 SSC 
Guidelines are in  the process of being reviewed and possibly updated. As 
you all know this  historically this has happened every 4 years since 2000, 
but I have not heard  anything mentioned on the list-serv and wasn't sure 
with the new Sepsis-3  definition just having been released earlier this year 
if that would still  happen for 2016.

Thank you in advance for anyone who may have and be  willing to share their 
insights!

Respectfully,
~Claudia
