Hi All, My institution is relatively new to EPIC and to its sepsis alert. We are in the process of defining the timings for the alert and its parameters. If you/your institution have experience with EPIC sepsis alert, can you please help with the following questions? 1. How frequently does your alert run? Constantly or on a particular timing like q4hrs, q8hrs, etc.? 2. Is your alert based on SIRS or qSOFA? 3. How far back does the alert look for abnormal vitals (T, HR, RR, BP)? Last 4 hrs, last 8hrs, etc.? What source did you use to base this decision, if any? Thank you in advance for your input.
