All The qSOFA is an un-validated screening tool in the hospital environment.
It has not been tested in the inpatient environment in a RCT, a quasi-experimental trial, or even a side-by-side trial for screening Sepsis patients. It has been validated in one EMS community in the Seattle area, as an assessment tool for prioritizing patients and run levels. CMS has chosen to stay with methods that have significant research validity to maintain best practice in the care and treatment of the Sepsis patient. Further research needs to be done in both the ED and inpatient areas to validate the use of SIRS, qSOFA, or a combination of these two to develop a strong evidence based tool that can be used by healthcare professionals in multiple environments.
