For our internal compliance with the Severe Sepsis guidelines we are using 
triage complete. I am finding patients that don't even meet SIRS criteria or 
have a documented infection at that time. Has anyone else run into this issue 
and if so how are you handling it?
This is outside of the SEP 1 definitions where I have more options to rule the 
patient in for severe sepsis.
Thanks.
