Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Sepsis Groups] Antibiotics >24 prior to presentation of
Sepsis
If a patient is on IV antibiotics for >24 hours prior severe sepsis
presentation shouldn't they be excluded from the Sep-1 Core Measure? We use
Comparion to abstract our data. The abstracting tool requires entry of the
initial collection of the lactic acid before the antibiotics, if the patient
did not have a lactic acid collected 6 hrs before of 3 hrs after the severe
sepsis presentation, the pt fails the measure instead of being excluded.
Please let me know what you all think of this. It is truly affecting our
numbers.
