Brief Summary:
Sepsis is a common syndrome resulting from a dysregulated response to infection. The timing of antibiotic initiation is an important determinant of outcomes for patients presenting to the emergency department with sepsis. The potential effect of care reorganization on very early care for sepsis is unknown. This study will investigate whether multidisciplinary coordination of the initial patient evaluation in the emergency department influences door-to-antibiotic time for septic patients.
Detailed Description:
This is a retrospective cohort study of emergency department sepsis care before versus after implementation of a "swarming" model for simultaneous patient evaluation by multidisciplinary care providers. The analysis will use data from similar hospitals that did not change sepsis care organization during the study period to control for changes in sepsis care not resulting from the "swarming" intervention.
