Katie, I am the Sepsis Coordinator at Navicent Health. We are a 630 bed facility, Level 1 Trauma Center, Level 3 NNICU, we have 5 adult ICUs and a Pediatric ICU. I have been in this position since April and August 1st it became my full time job. There are a lot of moving parts and multiple changes that need to continuously be made. The position requires a lot of administrative backing to succeed, which luckily I do have. We also have a Sepsis Team that meets every other week to discuss all issues related to the care of septic patients. The team consists of over 40 members consisting of: managers, directors, administration, quality, lab, pharmacy, nursing leaders, respiratory, coding, utilization review, MD champions, discharge planners, NPs, information services analysts, EC, ICU, and Med surge leaders as well as bedside nurses. I will confirm it is definitely at least enough work for one person no matter what size the facility is. Good luck! ☺

I would like to know how many of you have a dedicated sepsis coordinator vs. a dual role and how many beds your facility is. This seems just in our small facility enough work for one person! If anyone is willing to share a job description I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
