SEP-1 fallouts cost hospitals thousands per case in HVBP penalties. Most are preventable. Most are documentation, not care.
Reduce missed bundle elements, eliminate documentation gaps, and capture the credit your team deserves.
Start standardizing SEP-1 Documentation and Workflows immediately.

No integration. No IT burden. No barriers.
Sepsis IQ is a browser-based clinical tool that works instantly on any device—phone, tablet, or workstation.
No downloads. No EMR integration. No PHI entered or stored.
Deploy in days—not months—and avoid the delays of traditional IT approval and integration processes.
Sepsis IQ standardizes sepsis recognition, resuscitation, and documentation—reducing preventable SEP-1 failures across emergency and inpatient care.
Built by emergency physicians. Designed for real clinical workflows. Focused on measurable improvements in SEP-1 performance.
Studies show a significant portion of SEP-1 failures are driven by documentation gaps—Sepsis IQ is designed to address these directly.
A study published in JAMA Network Open found that a large proportion of SEP-1 failures were due to documentation gaps—not clinical care.
Common failure points include:
Fluid resuscitation documentation
Blood cultures before antibiotics
Volume status and perfusion reassessment
These are not failures of clinical judgment—they are failures of consistency and documentation.
Sepsis IQ standardizes these high-risk elements—reducing preventable SEP-1 failures at the point of care.

Even experienced care teams struggle to consistently meet SEP-1 requirements:
Time-sensitive bundle elements
Clinical care is correct — but not captured
Documentation gaps lead to lost credit
Sepsis IQ guides clinicians through every critical step of the SEP-1 bundle—ensuring nothing is missed and documentation supports compliance.
Complete Every 3-Hour Bundle Element
Guides lactate measurement, blood cultures, antibiotics, and fluid resuscitation
Standardize Fluid Resuscitation
Calculates 30 mL/kg targets with IBW-adjusted options for complex patients
Support Safe Fluid Exclusions
Documents clinically appropriate modifications when full-volume resuscitation may be harmful
Stay ahead of deterioration and ensure compliance with 6-hour bundle requirements.
Identifies persistent hypotension after fluid resuscitation
Tracks repeat lactate, vasopressor use, and reassessment timing
Prompts escalation when MAP remains <65 after fluids
Real-time bundle progress tracking with step-by-step clinical guidance
Sepsis IQ generates structured, CMS-aligned documentation in real time—reducing variability and supporting abstraction.
One-Tap Chart-Ready Summary - Clipboard-ready documentation
Captures What Was Done—and Why - Includes exclusions, timing, fluid rationale, and alternative diagnoses
Standardized Across Providers - Reduces variability across shifts, clinicians, and departments
Guided sepsis recognition and organ dysfunction assessment
One-tap documentation of exclusions and alternative diagnoses
Fluid target calculator with IBW adjustment for obese patients
Real-time awareness of blood culture sequencing before antibiotics
Fluid bolus and repeat lactate tracking with 6-hour deadline awareness
Escalation prompts for persistent hypotension
Easy copy into clinical documentation.
Dedicated QI review pathway for retrospective SEP-1 analysis
Structured evaluation of 3-hour and 6-hour bundle timing
Identification of met, missed, and excluded elements
Copyable summaries for abstraction and audit preparation
SEP-1 failures often occur not because care wasn’t delivered—but because it wasn’t documented in a way that supports abstraction.
Sepsis IQ closes that gap.
Consistent, Defensible Documentation
Reduces provider variability—one of the leading causes of preventable fallouts
Alternative Diagnosis Protection
Documents clinical reasoning when sepsis criteria are not truly met
Supports HVBP Performance
Even small improvements in SEP-1 compliance can significantly impact reimbursement
Sepsis IQ helps standardize care and documentation across your emergency and inpatient teams—reducing preventable SEP-1 failures and documentation-related fallouts.
Designed for rapid deployment, Sepsis IQ can be piloted within days and integrated into real clinical workflows without EMR changes.
Ideal for quality improvement initiatives targeting:
SEP-1 compliance improvement
Documentation variability
Preventable bundle failures
Your team is already delivering strong clinical care.
Sepsis IQ ensures that care is executed consistently—and documented correctly.
Developed by physicians with real-world experience managing sepsis, focused on turning evidence into clarity at the bedside.
Not a substitute for clinical judgment or institutional policy.
Workflow & Documentation Support Only — Sepsis IQ is a SEP-1 workflow and documentation support tool for severe sepsis and septic shock timing, fluid bundle support, and reassessment guidance. It does not replace clinical judgment, physician orders, or institutional protocols.
