11 Building the Why

12 Economic Implications of an Evidence-based Sepsis Protocol: Can We Improve Outcomes and Lower Costs? Objective a. To determine financial impact of a sepsis protocol designed for use in the ED of a Academic, tertiary care hospital in US Design a. Analysis of results from recent prospective study comparing outcomes in patients with septic shock before and after initiation of sepsis protocol Population a. Adults (n=120) who sequentially presented to ED with septic shock, specifically: a. At least two systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria b. Known or suspected infection (based on radiologic imaging and clinical suspicion) c. Shock requiring both fluid resuscitation and vasopressor administration ED = Emergency Department Shorr AF et al. Crit Care Med. 2007;35:

13 Summary of Results a. Post-protocol, savings of ~$6,000/patient observed a. Translated into total cost difference of $573,000 between the two groups b. Post-protocol, ICU costs reduced by ~35% (p=0.026) and ward costs fell by 30% (p=0.033) c. Protocol resulted in a reduction in overall hospital LOS of 5 days (p=0.023) d. Pre-protocol, 28-day mortality rate was 48.3% vs. 30.0% following protocol initiation (p=0.040) ICU, intensive care unit; LOS, length of stay Shorr AF et al. Crit Care Med. 2007;35:

14 Sepsis is #1 Cause of Inpatient Deaths

15 Sepsis Impact on Mortality in Hospitals 1 out of 2-3 Deaths r/t Sepsis, Most POA In KPNC 2012 subset, patient meeting criteria for EGDT comprised 32.6 percent of sepsis deaths & patients with sepsis, normal BP & lactate < 4 comprised 55.9% of sepsis deaths Liu V, et al. JAMA,2014:May 18 th, online.
