Great question! One of the criticisms of the qSOFA is that it has not been 
validated for prospective use as a screen and no revised screen has been 
proposed of offered to my knowledge.
Hindsight is 20/20 as they say.

Has anyone developed a successful marriage of the two screenings yet?  If so, I 
would be very interested in how you are using both effectively to capture the 
core measure population as well as use the new recommendations.

Thanks,
