The Septic Shock Order Set project tracks the use of the Septic Shock Order Set in HSC MICU and HSC SICU.

Data Collection Instructions

for which patients to code

• HSC MICU and HSC SICU patients who have an Admit Diagnosis of Shock, septic (Septic Shock in old dx set) -- this diagnosis doesn't have to be the FIRST listed one to qualify. If these are included as any of the "present on admission" ICU diagnoses, in MICU or SICU, then code this temp variable.

how to code in CCMDB TMP

For every qualifying patient enter:

• Project: SeptSet
• Item / Column N: enter one of the following
  • filled
  • not filled
• Date: form date
• checkbox: if no date was found in either place, check the checkbox

Where to seek this info in the HSC paper chart

• As of April 2018, this is a single paper page order set. To help you search for it in the paper chart, it's recommended you take a look at the front desk and find out what it looks like.
• The most likely place to look is with the other order sheets. BUT before concluding that it's not present at all, you must leaf through the entire chart.

Start and Stop Dates

• Start Date: Monday 2018-04-30
• End date: not pre-defined, project will end when 50 records have been collected.

Template:CCMDB Data Integrity Checks

We won't implement any at start of project until we have some data to do a sanity check, but will likely need the following:

• if patient qualifies (HSC ICU Septic Shock) then an entry must be present
• date or checkbox have to be filled
• if date is filled, date has to be between Arrive_DtTm and Dispo_DtTm

Background & Data Use

• This data element will help with an ongoing Quality Improvement project whose goal is to increase use of the Sepsis Order set. It has been around for over a year, but is rarely used. Thus, a project is starting in April 2018 to try and increase use of it.
