Hello,
We are using EPIC at our facility and have our EMR set to send a BPA (best practice advisory) to the nurse when SIRS criteria are met. Our BPA is timed out at 1 hour in the ED and 12 hours on the floors and ICU. The BPA then leads the nurse to the sepsis screening tool (also embedded in EPIC). So far, in 3 months time, we have 6 "saves" (patients who were on the med-surg units with smoldering sepsis that were emergently transferred due to BPA alerts).
