I am also looking for the data. My physicians have asked for copies of the studies used to make this decision.
From: Sepsisgroups [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Monday, September 21, 2015 4:20 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Sepsis Groups] Physician/ANP/PA Assessment Hello, I am writing to query if there is any evidence-based reason why CMS is requiring a bedside physician assessment for septic shock patients, when the standard for other critically ill patients is typically based on a bedside nursing assessment that is reported to the physician by telephone. I work in an underserved minority population where physician access is challenging without the bedside assessment requirement, and I am curious if there is a rationale for this deviation from the norm.
