1. Development and use of e-sepsis to
improve management of sepsis
Dr Emmanuel Nsutebu
Consultant Infectious Disease Physician &
Clinical lead for sepsis
National Advisor Sepsis (NHS England) and
Deterioration (NHS Improvement)
2. • Patients want us to “make them better, not harm
them, be nice to them, continue to improve”
• “Quality & Patient safety is about culture, systems
and trained staff working in teams”
• “Every system is designed to deliver what it delivers”
• We wanted to reduce variation and shift focus to
inpatients
Background
3. • Used electronic recording of observations and
National Early Warning score (e-NEWS)
• Used blood results e.g. White cell count, lactate
and U & Es
• Algorithm built on published evidence and
national guidance – NHS England sepsis
guidance 2017
How we did it?
4. • IT team and Clinicians met weekly to
develop the system
• Tested and rolled it out with support
• Continued to support and engage staff
• Identify and address culture and system
issues
How we did it?
9. Review NEWS
score – depending
on results, Step 1
of the Sepsis

a mandated
question:
Answering Yes opens up Step 2
E-Sepsis on ADT
10. • Step 2 will auto tick
boxes dependant on
observations and ICE
look ups
• If any lines in Step 2 are
ticked, the patient is
placed on the Sepsis
Pathway for treatment.
E-Sepsis on ADT
18. • GP referral to cardiology with chest pain
Case Example
19. • Importance of clinicians and non-clinicians working
together to develop systems
• Non-clinicians can improve patient care
• It was adaptive not technical change -uncovered
culture issues and wider system issues about
responding to deteriorating patients
• We developed a safer system, reduced variation
and mortality
• Freed up sepsis nurse time to focus on clinical
work and quality improvement
Learning outcomes
