Yes, I have feedback that occurs and it is problematic. We need to bring this to CMS. I would suggest that in the same way 2 consecutive BPs are required to identify SEPTIC SHOCK after fluids, the same should be true to signify the onset of hypotension.

DO NOT CLICK links if the sender is unknown and never provide your User ID or Password. Question posed by our physician leadership: Is anyone else having a problem with their CMS bundles when it comes to a low MAP. Our EMR captures every vital sign and if the auto-calculated MAP falls only momentarily to 64, it will trigger our data abstractors to establish a diagnosis of hypotension and put the patient into the severe sepsis category without necessarily having any of the other organ dysfunction criteria for the diagnosis. This results in a fall out on the bundle and makes us non-compliant from CMS data collection purposes. Has anyone else had a similar EMR issue and if so, how did you deal with it? Thanks!
