Hi, SOI need not be documented prior to antibiotic administration. If it is, the measure does not fail. Blood should be collected/drawn for Blood Culture prior to antibiotic, unless there is Blood Culture delay (see specs manual).

We are discussion at about the timing of the documentation of a source of infection/ or documented infection. Does the source or suspected/likely source of infection need to be documented before the administration of an antibiotic? And if it is not will this cause the measure to fail?
