Valley Children's Hospital in Madera, California, needed a process to expedite triage of patients with signs of severe sepsis and those who are immunocompromised or at high risk to develop sepsis. The organization wanted to quickly treat these patients to decrease environmental exposure and door-to-antibiotic time while increasing patient and family satisfaction.
