Here is the statement from the SSC on time zero in the ED. This is what we use
as our guideline. Time zero is triage time regardless of the point in time
during the ED stay they meet all criteria. This has been controversial to say
the least. That being said, if they meet all criteria after they have left the
ED, we do assign an inpatient time zero based on time of presentation. Hope
that helps!

Severe Sepsis group,
I have an abstraction question.
If a patient initially does not present as a Severe Sepsis upon arrival to the
ED, but hours later meets the SIRS criteria, do you count the start time for
the 3 hour bundle as:
1. Time of arrival
or
2. Time pt presented with symptoms - Time of presentation (TOP)
Thank you, Troy
