The specification update also allows for organism specific antibiotic treatment of C. difficile suspected sepsis. The measure update is included in version 5.2 of the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Manual in the section on sepsis. Version 5.1 of the Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Manual was posted on QualityNet in December 2015 and is available here: https://www.qualitynet.org/dcs/ContentServer?c=Page&pagename=QnetPublic%2FPage%2FQnetTier3&cid=1228775436944. Version 5.1 becomes effective July 1, 2016, so the changes to the Sepsis measure also affect this version.
