Sepsis Core Quality Measures Webinar
1) The document discusses CMS's new sepsis core measures that took effect in October 2015 and are aimed at improving early management of sepsis through compliance with sepsis bundles. 2) It provides an overview of the definitions for severe sepsis and septic shock that determine when the core measure time clocks begin. The measures require drawing lactate and blood cultures, administering antibiotics and fluids, and reassessing patients within 3 and 6 hours of presentation. 3) Successful implementation of the sepsis core measures requires standardized identification processes, evidence-based treatment adhering to bundles, and ongoing process improvements including engaging physicians, identifying gaps, and facilitating a culture of protocol compliance.

How is thenew Core Measures different January 2016 AcesoCloud Webinar 9 Compared to previous core measures SEP-1 is… o more complicated o requires more teamwork, and o has the potential to more significantly impact patient outcomes in terms of mortality, morbidity, and hospital length-of-stay Time of presentation o Unlike most other core measures in which the clock starts upon admission, for this measure, the clock starts when the patient meets criteria for either severe sepsis or septic shock Chances are your hospital quality team is still developing a sound understanding of the core measures!
- 10. Key Abstractions January 2016AcesoCloud Webinar 10 The course of treatment is dependent on Time of Presentation (TOP) documented by the nurse/Physician Care protocol implementation is based on the two clocks: o Three hour o Six hour Clock starts when Severe Sepsis presentation is documented, either by diagnosis or criteria: o For ED patients the clock begins when the patient is diagnosed with Severe Sepsis o If Sepsis occurs later, the earliest time all symptoms present or diagnosis documented is the time when the clock begins.
- 11. 3 Hour SepsisBundles January 2016 AcesoCloud Webinar 11 Within 3 hours from TOP o draw a lactate, o draw blood cultures prior to administration of antibiotics, and start broad-spectrum antibiotics or approved combination of antibiotics o Administer 30ml/kg crystalloid for hypotension or lactate ≥4mmol/L
- 12. 6 Hour SepsisBundles January 2016 AcesoCloud Webinar 12 Within 6 hours from TOP, initiate all the above plus: o IVF bolus of 0.9% NS or LR 30ml/kg o If hypotension persists within 1 hour of completion of initial fluid resuscitation, administer vasopressors to maintain a mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥65mmHg o If hypotension persists 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. o Re-measure lactate if initial lactate elevated > 2mmol/L or hypotension
