Lisa, The severe sepsis presentation time can be a confusing data element. I would use the earliest time that the patient met the criteria for severe sepsis which would be the lactate result time of 17:50 (already met infection in the note opened at 16:37 and the 2/4 SIRS at 16:19).

Need help!! We are having issues with figuring out severe sepsis presentation times. We are having discrepancies at our facility understanding what times to use, especially when the physician has severe sepsis as the impression and there are other times within the note. We have a patient that comes into the ED. The note was opened at 16:37 by the physician. In the body of the report, it says "Time of sepsis diagnosis is 19:50". Pulse of 104 at 16:19. Respirations of 24 at 16:19. Lactate 2.9 at 17:50. He documents in the body of the note "the patient has severe sepsis but not septic shock". Primary impression documented on the ED Physician Report is Pneumonia, additional impression is Severe Sepsis. What time should we collect as Time of Severe Sepsis? Do we take the time the note was opened since he has an impression of severe sepsis or use the times within the body of the note?
