Our objective was to create an Emergency Department (ED) Code Sepsis Nurse-led team to reduce the time to antibiotics and mortality in patients with sepsis.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This initiative was implemented at a community hospital in Southern California in response to previous undesirable sepsis outcomes. In fiscal year 2021, the ED Sepsis Nursing Team was launched with the goal of improving sepsis-related outcomes. The following interventions were implemented: First, a group of dedicated Sepsis Nurses with training specific to sepsis recognition was created, and an electronic ED-sepsis screening tool was developed and implemented. Next, the dedicated sepsis nurses designed and educated to a \"Code Sepsis\" activation process. The code triggered a multidisciplinary response and implementation of standing orders for blood cultures, lactate, complete blood count, complete metabolic panel, and chest x-ray or urinalysis if indicated. Finally, the Sepsis Team Registered Nurse (RN) Captain led house-wide monthly Sepsis Task Force meetings to improve unit-level engagement and to allow the team to have ownership over sharing wins and losses.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>By Quarter 4 (Q4) of Fiscal Year 2021, door-to-antibiotic time for sepsis patients dropped from 196.7 min (Q1) to 144.7 (Q4). Additionally, mortality dropped below the health system average (10.4% vs. 13.5%), and Fiscal Year 2021 surpassed the readmissions benchmark of <1.0 at a rate of 0.5.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>An RN-led, interprofessional response to accepted sepsis identification criteria enhanced staff and physician engagement and improved sepsis outcomes for patient mortality and hospital reporting outcomes. The process was adopted with very few obstacles that were easily overcome as the understanding of the role and its significance was realized.</p>","PeriodicalId":45446,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Emergency Nursing Journal","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142869714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nurse practitioners (NPs) were introduced into an event medicine team at mass gatherings to reduce emergency transports to local emergency departments as well as offering a \"treat and release\" disposition for patients presenting to medical tents. This study aimed to examine the impact of NPs at mass gathering events; 147 chart reviews were performed from 05/01/2023 to 09/30/2023 for all patients assessed by an NP at events staffed by an event medicine team; 60% of patients assessed by an NP were treated and released from the event, potentially reducing the number of patient transports and emergency department visits considerably. NPs can provide higher levels of care at events, treating common complaints such as heat-related illness, nausea, vomiting, minor trauma, and laceration repairs. Although this study did not compare data from events where NPs were not present versus when they were utilized to grasp the statistical impact their presence has had since their introduction to the team model, the study clearly shows the benefits NPs bring to mass gathering medical care. This is significant for emergency NPs as this research validates the need to include these providers in this new setting and role in which they can practice.
