Abstract
Implementation of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) guidelines into practice has demonstrated improved outcomes. Compliance with a sepsis protocol, based on the SSC guidelines, in an urban teaching hospital was below the national average. A pre- and posttest intervention design was used to improve clinician knowledge, confidence, and compliance with the protocol. Educational modules were developed on the SSC guidelines and reminder system alerts (RSA) for timely revaluation of patients with sepsis and lactate monitoring were implemented. A total of 33 (48%) clinicians participated. There was an increase in knowledge, documentation of sepsis reassessment, and serum lactate monitoring. There was an improvement in clinician perceptions following the initiative. The results demonstrate that education, combined with RSAs, can improve protocol knowledge and compliance.
