Hi Claudia; At Sutter Health we report severe sepsis and septic shock combined and separately. We show data as an aggregate for our combined 24 acute care facilities and for each discreet entity. We do NOT include "simple" sepsis patients and we do not use the new sepsis definitions.
Thanks, MARY ANN BARNES-DALY MS RN CCRN DC | Clinical Performance Improvement Consultant Quality & Clinical Effectiveness Team | Office of Patient Experience Sutter Health -2200 River Plaza Drive, Sacramento, CA 95833 Mobile 916.200.5604| [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves.

DO NOT CLICK links if the sender is unknown and never provide your User ID or Password. Good Afternoon, I am hoping to gain insight into how most other facilities are reporting their mortality to senior leadership, the board, etc. Depending on where we get our data from the mortality obviously varies greatly and it is not always clear what definitions or specifications are actually being used to garner the data! I would be incredibly grateful to anyone willing to answer the following questions so I can make recommendations moving forward for our facility on how to best standardize and develop a "source of truth": * Are you using "Overall Sepsis mortality" that includes all of the ICD-10 CM codes identified to fit per the CMS SEP-1 measure file:///C:/Users/corth1/Downloads/Appendix_A.1_v5_3a%20(1).pdf<file:///C:\Users\corth1\Downloads\Appendix_A.1_v5_3a%20(1).pdf> ? * Or are you only reporting on "Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock" mortality which would be R6520 & R6521 similar to the grid below? Measure Name: Severe Sepsis/Septic Shock Mortality Rate Numerator: Patients with discharge status of expired Denominator: Patients with principle or secondary diagnosis of severe sepsis or septic shock Harm Prevented: Sepsis Death Multiplier: 100 Y-axis title: Sepsis mortality/100 sepsis diagnoses * Or are you using something entirely different? :) * Are you reporting a rate, a percentage, total number of deaths, ??? * Also is the mortality risk adjusted or not? Thank you in advance for your time and consideration to share!
