Excellent question. First: The SEP -1 bundle requires that to enter it you must have " 2 + 1" due to infection with the word sepsis in the documentation being enough to satisfy the "infection" part of the bundle. Second: Although Lactate levels > 2 mmol/L are not part of the SOFA score ( Sepsis 3), it is evidence of organ dysfunction in SEP-1 bundle Third: P/F ratios were left out of SEP -1 bundle defining organ dysfunction, (but will be added with the next update), they are part of Sepsis 3 definition SOFA score. Finally: In regards to septic shock, with SEP 1 bundle has evidence of hypoperfusion that persist despite fluid administration as evidenced by blood pressure parameters OR lactate level > 4 mmol/L in a patient with documented severe sepsis, where Sepsis 3 definition requires both with different lactate levels (>2 mmo/L) and requiring vasopressors. To make matters worse as stated earlier, the RACs will apply sepsis 3 definition to non traditional Medicare Get ready to "Rock and Roll" William E. Haik, M.D., F.C.C.P., C.D.I.P.

And do the new SSC guidelines conflict with the CMS SEP-1 bundles in anyway?? My sense is that all of this is getting more complicated with limited added value for the some of the recent changes. Please set me straight.

It has not been tested in the inpatient environment in a RCT, a quasi-experimental trial, or even a side-by-side trial for screening Sepsis patients. It has been validated in one EMS community in the Seattle area, as an assessment tool for prioritizing patients and run levels. CMS has chosen to stay with methods that have significant research validity to maintain best practice in the care and treatment of the Sepsis patient. Further research needs to be done in both the ED and inpatient areas to validate the use of SIRS, qSOFA, or a combination of these two to develop a strong evidence based tool that can be used by healthcare professionals in multiple environments.
