Do you know how to record when a patient has been screened for sepsis?
Early detection and prompt treatment of sepsis is a key priority; however this can only be achieved if patients are being screened for sepsis regularly.
Every patient that is screened for sepsis must by flagged on eBMS when screening is carried out and a record kept regarding whether treatment has commenced and justification where treatment has not.
If you are unsure on the process of flagging a patient on eBMS as having been screened for sepsis you can follow the attached guide.
