- Summary:
- Harborview Medical Center is a mid-sized community hospital that recently encountered significant delays and inconsistent care for patients with sepsis. The emergency department launched a "Code Sepsis" protocol using a cross-functional team to speed up identification and treatment. Early outcomes include faster antibiotic delivery and other gains, but staff coordination following the protocol still needs work. The hospital's Quality Director must decide how to move forward. Each option involves cost and change-related challenges. This case illustrates how hospitals can use teamwork and quality improvement methodologies to improve performance.
