According to the SEP-1 Additional Notes for Abstraction for Version 5.0b: " Documentation of suspected source of clinical infection:
* Documentation of sepsis can be used as a sign of infection, because sepsis is caused by an infection. * Conditions or diseases that are an infection, could be an infection, are caused by an infection, or could be caused by an infection are acceptable as a suspected infection."
