Effectiveness and Safety of an Emergency Department Code Sepsis Protocol: A Pragmatic Clinical Trial.

Sepsis care delivery-including the initiation of prompt, appropriate antimicrobials-remains suboptimal. This study was conducted to determine direct and off-target effects of emergency department (ED) sepsis care reorganization. This pragmatic pilot trial enrolled adult patients who presented from November 2019 to February 2021 to an ED in Utah before and after implementation of a multimodal, team-based "Code Sepsis" protocol.

Agile Implementation of Innovative End to End Technical Solutions for Respiratory Testing in the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The COVID-19 pandemic required rapid implementation testing at large scale. We describe our approach to creating an efficient and highly scalable end-to-end testing and reporting workflow. We utilized a combination of consumer-driven workflows, a consistent ordering and data collection EMR user interface, an EMR independent entry point for affiliated providers, and rapidly evolving automation of screening, registration, patient identification, curbside specimen management, and prioritization logic.

Rapid Implementation of a Complex, Multimodal Technology Response to COVID-19 at an Integrated Community-Based Health Care System.

Background: The rapid spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 or SARS-CoV-2 necessitated a scaled treatment response to the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Objective: This study aimed to characterize the design and rapid implementation of a complex, multimodal, technology response to COVID-19 led by the Intermountain Healthcare's (Intermountain's) Care Transformation Information Systems (CTIS) organization to build pandemic surge capacity.

Methods: Intermountain has active community-spread cases of COVID-19 that are increasing.
