1.3%) when comparing the pre- and postintervention groups. Of these, we found an absolute reduction in both 3-day sepsis-attributable mortality (2.53 vs. We had 79 cases of severe sepsis in 2017 and 154 cases in 2019. We compared sepsis-attributable mortality, time to fluid and antibiotic administration, proportion of patients who required transfer to a higher level of care, and antibiotic days for the year prior to the sepsis alert (2017) to the postimplementation phase (2019). The sepsis alert included clinical decision support to aid in timely treatment, prompting the use of intravenous fluid boluses, and antibiotic administration. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of a best practice alert in improving recognition of sepsis and timely treatment to improve mortality in the pediatric acute care setting.Ī multidisciplinary team adapted a sepsis alert from the emergency room setting to facilitate identification of sepsis in acute care pediatric inpatient areas. Methods: A multidisciplinary team adapted a sepsis alert from the emergency room setting to facilitate identification of sepsis in acute care pediatric. Early recognition and treatment are vital to improving patient outcomes. Objective: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of a best practice alert in improving recognition of sepsis and timely treatment to improve mortality in the pediatric acute care setting. Severe sepsis can cause significant morbidity and mortality in pediatric patients.
