~~:Severe Sepsis is '''organ failure''' (as defined by [[Septic Shock]]) '''but excludes hypotension'''.~~

*We don't need the vital sign criteria that exist for septic shock to be met to code severe sepsis. Look for signs of organ failure in a patient with probable infection.

=== excludes vital sign requirement of septic shock ===

We don't need the vital sign criteria that exist for septic shock to be met to code severe sepsis. Look for signs of organ failure in a patient with probable infection.

=== pathogen needs to be from blood culture ===

The [[pathogen]] for severe sepsis is obtained from the blood culture result. Do not code the [[pathogen]] for likely related [[:Category:Infection (old)]] as responsible for the sepsis unless it is confirmed by blood culture.[[User:Mlagadi|Mlagadi]] 10:41, 2016 October 17 (CDT)
