Does anyone have a checklist for rounding on patients to screen for the potential for sepsis or a new onset of sepsis? Does anyone have a designated group of staff who check the inpatient population on a regular basis and screen for sepsis? Even with the use of our electronic tools - i.e. SIRS, shock index, MEWS - we still are not capturing some patients who are developing sepsis after their admission. Hence, the idea of developing a sepsis team or using an existing group to screen patients for sepsis. Does anyone have an electronic tool that recognizes signs of organ failure (similar to a sepsis screening tool)? Thank you. Theresa
