Hi Everyone! Just a follow-up question/comment on the time zero discussion.
For determination of time zero for patients who present to the Emergency Department, how are you applying this portion of the Notes for Abstraction on page 1-232. By this it seems that we should we be using triage time for the majority of the severe sepsis and septic shock patients?? Severe Sepsis Time If severe sepsis is present on arrival to the Emergency Department or severe sepsis is identified in triage, the Severe Sepsis Presentation Time is the time the patient was triaged in the Emergency Department. If more than one triage time is documented (e.g., “Triage started” and “Triage completed”) use the later time reflecting triage is completed.
