I mean to say "blood culture" acceptable delay and too quickly typed "antibiotic" acceptable delay. To summarize: To further ensure that blood culture collection does not delay appropriate care, the next specification update, Version 5.2, has a new data element entitled Blood Culture Collection Acceptable Delay which allows for a case to pass the measure if a clinician indicates that "the IV antibiotic was started before the blood culture was drawn because waiting for the blood culture to be drawn would have resulted in a delay of 45 minutes or more in starting the IV antibiotic." SEP-1 Version 5.2 was published July 1st, 2016, and will cover discharges from January 1st, 2017 through December 31st, 2017. Sean R.

My question is- was this this answer to J. Clement comment below " I see that a new element was added "Blood Culture Collection Acceptable Delay" - but I'm not clear from the manual what constitutes an acceptable delay. Am I missing something? Can anybody clarify?" If so, I do not understand the reply. I only see a change to the BC part of the measure, not Abx. So why I do not understand. If there is another question in these emails regarding Abx, then I missed it. Thank you for clarifying and for this workgroup. I have never sent in a question before, but I find most of the posts very useful and know that eventually someone will ask my questions.

The LIP can now attest to the reperfusion assessment without giving greater detail. What is more, nursing documentation and a nursing exam can be the basis of that attestation. The only requirement is that the one exam item LIP has to do as part of that attestation is a cardiopulmonary exam. This is huge. I hope you appreciate the change. Our goal wasn't to make people document but rather to conduct an exam and satisfy themselves that the patient was perfusing adequately. As regards antibiotic acceptable delay the provider has to state a delay of 45 minutes or longer would have transpired. There are other goodies in version 5.2.

It also says that "performing, or attesting to performing a physical examination, perfusion (re-perfusion) assessment, or sepsis (severe sepsis or septic shock) focused exam is acceptable." At the risk of asking an obvious question, I just want to make sure I am getting this right. If the MD signs something that says "I attest to having performed a severe sepsis re-perfusion exam at XX:XX", then this would meet the measure requirement? [] I see that a new element was added "Blood Culture Collection Acceptable Delay" - but I'm not clear from the manual what constitutes an acceptable delay. Am I missing something? Can anybody clarify? Thanks in advance!
