An Examination of SEP-1: The Effectiveness of the Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock Management Bundle Measure.
Master Essay, University of Pittsburgh.
Abstract
In 2023 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid decided the Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock Management Bundle, SEP-1, will be a pay-for-performance quality measure. This decision is the result of two decades of sepsis care being protocolized. As SEP-1 becomes a pay-for-performance measure the effectiveness of the policy can be viewed with higher scrutiny. This paper will address the effectiveness of the policy through a literature review. In addition, SEP-1 effects for healthcare organizations will also be explored through a PEST (Political, Economic, Social, Technological) Analysis. The public health significance starts with sepsis being a leading cause of death in the United States. The public health relevance is the SEP-1 policy aims to reduce the burden of disease attributed to sepsis. The role of evidence and ethics on policymaking as well as measure and evaluate the impact of a health policy on population health will be discussed.
