Sepsis not Present on Admission without a Major Procedure Cohort

The Sepsis Not Present on Admission without a Major Procedure Cohort includes all encounters with any diagnosis code for sepsis or septic shock coded in any position and not present on admission (POA).

To leverage this cohort:

• Profile filters: In the Profile Editor, add the cohort as a profile filter. With this option, you can further customize the profile with additional filters.
• Statistical Process Control: Because sepsis populations are not homogenous, this cohort is not available in this section.
