Our facility as well has decided to not incorporate the qSOFA into the screening process until CMS has adopted it to prevent conflicting definitions or assessments of patients. Since we are still required to use CMS definitions, then it would not make sense to change how we approach assessing these patients as of yet.

We discussed it but opted to not incorporate the qSOFA. If I remember correctly the physicians thought there wasn't enough evidence behind it to change.
