Of those half dozen appropriate pop-ups, did they actually change your plan or were you already aware of a sepsis diagnosis?

I think a better question might be ‘was there a sepsis diagnosis?’
We are grading a tool which might not need to be there at all. It shouldn't get points for coming in six hours later saying that the patient being treated for sepsis might have sepsis. See what I'm saying? There's a cost to every flag you wave.
I’m pointing out that it may not have been sepsis at all, so it’s even more ridiculous.
