Hi, We have used Cerner since 2013 and have edited the algorithm to meet our needs. The process is a discern alert for nursing that messages the information needed to call the provider within 30 minutes. The RN documents that call in a critical value form that fires from the alert. We have an auto-order for vital signs and lactates also. The providers get an alert up to 24 hours after when they open a chart or write orders. Our providers don't have the correct relationship with the patient in order to fire directly to them in a timely manner. If the patient meets criteria for septic shock (criteria directly on the alert), the process is to call 911 Sepsis Code and the RRT responds.

Does your facility use Cerner and the St. John's Sepsis Alert? What is the nursing procedure/protocol when an alert is triggered? I am trying to get ahead of the game and work on initiating nurse driven protocols. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
