Hello,
I'm a black belt that's starting a sepsis initiative at our facility.
Currently we do have a the sepsis bundle in place according to the best
practice guidelines but the order sets are not being utilized by our
physicians. My team is made of mostly physicians with a PharmD, and nurses. I'm
looking for some insight on how some facilities got physicians to utilize the
order sets and got them to buy-in to using the order set. There is recognition
of the problem, but seems there's an overwhelming majority that don't use the
order sets. Preliminary numbers are showing that around 13% of our discharged
sepsis patients were treated with the order set and that only means they used a
portion of the order set, not the entire thing. Our mortality has dropped from
33% to 21%, but there's still room for major improvement after the order sets
have been in place. I'd appreciate anyone's feedback.Thanks, Ryan Luginbuhl RT(R), BS Six Sigma Black Belt | Process Improvement OSF Saint Francis Medical Center 613 NE Jefferson Street | Peoria, IL | 61603 p 309.624.2245 | c 309.678.4993 | f 309.624.2236 www.osfsaintfrancis.org<http://www.osfsaintfrancis.org/> [Description: Description: http://myosf.osfhealthcare.org/sites/SFMC/Marketing/Housewide%20Communication%20Standards/Logo_HousewideCommunication.jpg] "Serving With the Greatest Care and Love" ==================== The information in this message is confidential and may be legally privileged.
