GOALS FOR TIER 1
- Is your executive leadership on board?
- Do you have a sepsis coordinator or someone who is filling that
need?
- Do you have champions for this project – they need to be
positive and respected individuals from the ED, ICU and Infection Prevention
- Have you developed an interdisciplinary team?
- What bedside nurses are on the team?
- Do you have meeting scheduled for this very important group?
- Do you feel the culture of safety is a priority?
- Has a team charter been developed with mission vision and
team goals?
- What is your baseline data? (can use CMS data)
- Have you educated your team to understand the latest
guidelines and pathophysiology

TIER I: ORGANIZATIONAL CONSENSUS AND SUPPORT MILESTONES AND CHECKLIST
1. Define Sepsis Program Goal and aligned with
- rganizational goals
2. Identify Executive sponsor 3. Collect Baseline Data—essential step
4. Develop sepsis team(do we have all the right people here?) and schedule monthly(minimum) meeting for at least 6 months 5.

Severe Sepsis is Common and Deadly
Problem Statement: Team Members
ED, ICU, Patient Care Unit Representatives, Administration, Medical Staff, Nursing, Pharmacy, Performance Improvement, Case Management, Laboratory
Business Case
In comparison to other ICU patients, severe sepsis patients have a higher mortality rate, increased LOS, and an increased need for a ventilator
Benefits
Potential to improve outcomes
Goals
Reduce severe sepsis mortality (make the goal specific and measurable)
Scope
Severe sepsis patients in the ED, ICU, and patient care units
Milestones
Implementation of Tiers 1, 2, 3, and 4
1/26/2018 10 ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF AN EVIDENCE-BASED SEPSIS PROTOCOL: CAN WE IMPROVE OUTCOMES AND LOWER COSTS? Objective
- To determine financial impact of a sepsis protocol
designed for use in the ED in a Academic, tertiary care
hospital in US
Design
- Analysis of results from recent prospective study
comparing outcomes in patients with septic shock before and after initiation of sepsis protocol
- Adults (n=120) who sequentially presented to ED with septic
shock, specifically
- At least two systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria
- Known or suspected infection (based on radiologic imaging and
clinical suspicion)
- Shock requiring both fluid resuscitation and vasopressor
administration
20
- ED = Emergency Department

1/26/2018 11
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
- Post-protocol, savings of ~$6,000/patient
- bserved
- Translated into total cost difference of $573,000
between the two groups
- Post-protocol, ICU costs reduced by ~35%
(p=0.026) and ward costs fell by 30% (p=0.033)
- Protocol resulted in a reduction in overall hospital
LOS of 5 days (p=0.023)
- Pre-protocol, 28-day mortality rate was 48.3% vs.
30.0% following protocol initiation (p=0.040)
Shorr AF et al. Crit Care Med. 2007;35:1257–1262.
- ICU, intensive care unit; LOS, length of stay

THE ROLE OF EXECUTIVE SPONSORSHIP
1. Sponsors are executive leaders explicitly tied to a process being improved. 2.
- Sr. executives round regularly (q
week, q 2 weeks) on process aims, goals, targets, outcomes with the frontline team.
- Informative, not punitive.
- Accountable, not “in
trouble”
3. Sponsors remove barriers to progress.
ROLE OF EXECUTIVE SPONSOR
- Review project plans
- Review results from first team
meeting
- Identify anticipated barriers
that senior leader can help address
- Enlist support and help AND
ASK for a sponsor to be assigned to the project

BASELINE DATA COLLECTION PROCESS: DEFINING CURRENT STATE
- Pick time period for medical record query
- Sample size: minimum of 20 pts per ICU
- Query strategies:
- ICD 9 codes: 785.52 and 995.92
- Patients in ICU on 1-2 antibiotics, vasopressor (review charts
to see if meet criteria for severe sepsis with lactate > 4 or septic shock before including in outcome data or process data
- Select Data Collection Elements
- Outcome: mortality, cost per case, LOS
- Process

SEP-1
TO BE COMPLETED WITHIN 3 HOURS OF TIME OF PRESENTATION † : 1. Measure lactate level 2. Obtain blood cultures prior to administration of antibiotics 3. Administer broad spectrum antibiotics 4. Administer 30ml/kg crystalloid for hypotension or lactate ≥4mmol/L † “time of presentation” is defined as the time of earliest chart annotation consistent with all elements severe sepsis or septic shock ascertained through chart review.
SEP-1
1/26/2018 15
SEP-1
TO BE COMPLETED WITHIN 6 HOURS OF TIME OF PRESENTATION:
5. Apply vasopressors (for hypotension that does not respond to initial fluid resuscitation) to maintain a mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥65mmHg 6. In the event of persistent hypotension after initial fluid administration (MAP < 65 mm Hg) or if initial lactate was ≥4 mmol/L, re-assess volume status and tissue perfusion and document findings according to table 1. 7. Re-measure lactate if initial lactate elevated.
SEP-1 SEP-1
TABLE 1
DOCUMENT REASSESSMENT OF VOLUME STATUS AND TISSUE PERFUSION WITH:
Either
- Repeat focused exam(after initial fluid resuscitation)
by licensed independent practitioner including vital signs, cardiopulmonary, capillary refill, pulse and skin findings. Or two of the following:
- Measure CVP
- Measure ScvO2
- Bedside cardiovascular ultrasound
- Dynamic assessment of fluid responsiveness with
passive leg raise or fluid challenge

THE TEAM IS KEY! CAN BE MAJOR BARRIER IF NOT FUNCTIONING WELL
- Must have nurse and physician champions from ED
and ICU (need at least one physician at all meetings)
- Must be linked in the organization’s quality or
- perational structure— Are you linked?
- Must meet at least 1-2 times per month
- Team members must be well educated on the evidence
and armed with tools and knowledge to change behavior at the bedside— Does the team need more education?
- MUST have bedside nurses on team—provide reality
check and best knowledge of barriers— Do you?
