Hi, We just implemented EPIC a few months ago. 1. The alert is continuous unless Treating an Associated Illness or Condition is selected when the alert displays and stops for 24 hours. If the answer is no when the sepsis screen is done after the alert displays it still alerts when Criteria met again. 2. Our alert is based on SIRS. 3. I need to find out how far back the alert looks back. One thing from our staff is that the alert is too frequent. My concern is they will become numb to it. I’m not sure what source they used for the timing parameters.
I’d be interested to hear how others have their alerts set up and what sources they used for decisions.
