Active Control

Group I: Septic Shock Clinical Decision SupportExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Emergency Department sites in this arm will have Clinical Decision Support (CDS) alerts active in the Electronic Health Record during clinical ED care of patients with suspected sepsis, in addition to following usual institutional standard of care for sepsis. The CDS will alert providers to patients at high risk for developing septic shock.
