She received it from [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> this morning Subject: [hiqrimprove-poc-notify] Implementation of Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: Management Bundle Measure (NQF #0500) The purpose of this email is to notify hospitals participating in the Inpatient Quality Reporting (IQR) Program that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will require data collection of the Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: Management Bundle measure (NQF #0500) beginning with October 1, 2015 discharges. This measure was adopted for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 payment determination in the Calendar Year (CY) 2015 Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) Final Rule. CMS continues to believe that this is an important area for measurement given that mortality rates range from 16-49% and that sepsis is one of the top ten most common principal causes for hospitalizations. Further, through surveillance of early effective treatment of severe sepsis or septic shock, hospitals will not only know where in the sequence of steps to treat severe sepsis and septic shock patients, but also begin to decrease mortality related to sepsis and the costs associated with inefficient care of severe sepsis and septic shock patients. With the implementation of this measure, CMS will be able to gauge if care of severe sepsis and septic shock patients is improving. The Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock measurement information, including the Measure Information Form and algorithm, and abstraction guidance will be provided in Version 5.0 of the Specifications Manual for National Hospital Inpatient Quality Measures which will be posted to QualityNet on April 1, 2015. Please do not respond directly to this email.

Has anyone else heard about this and what steps are other institutions taking to prepare for this? Also, are you planning, if you currently do so, to continue submitting data to the SSC database and then also using whatever software you currently use to submit the CMS measures? Any thoughts and feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance for your time and willingness to share!
