Getting the Upper Hand on Sepsis

Predictions were provided for the potential target % of patients who were prone to sepsis. • A tool was developed to help clinicians in decision-making. • The tool helped nurses save time to provide better patient care by reducing the time spent on manual sepsis surveillance.

Overview

A major healthcare provider sees its data in a different way, to everyone’s benefit. The immune system protects the body from many illnesses and infections, but it’s also possible for it to go into overdrive in response to an infection. Sepsis develops when the chemicals the immune system releases into the bloodstream to fight an infection cause inflammation throughout the entire body instead. Severe cases of sepsis can lead to septic shock, which is a medical emergency. There are more than 1 million cases of sepsis each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and this type of infection kills more than 258,000 Americans a year. Often, nurses use manual surveillance methods to screen the patients admitted to the hospital for sepsis risk, which may not be an efficient use of their time.

Challenge

Our client wanted to find a precise and quick way to determine which patients are at high risk of developing sepsis. Sepsis is a life-threatening illness caused by the body’s response to an infection.

Solution

Our team created a proof of concept to determine which patients are more prone to sepsis infection. The initial sepsis condition was identified using vital signs such as body temperature, pulse rate, and white blood cell (WBC) count.
