6 Dcumentatin f the adult patient s alchl use status using a validated screening questinnaire fr unhealthy alchl use within the first day f admissin (by end f Day 1). Allwable Values Change frm: 1 The patient is screened with a validated tl within the first day f admissin and the scre n the alchl screen indicates n r lw risk f alchl related prblems. 2 The patient was screened with a validated tl within the first day f admissin and the scre n the alchl screen indicates unhealthy alchl use (mderate r high risk) benefiting frm brief interventin. 3 The patient was screened with a nn-validated tl within the first day f admissin and the scre n the alchl screen indicates n r lw risk f alchl related prblems. 4 The patient was screened with a nn-validated tl within the first day f admissin and the scre n the alchl screen indicates unhealthy alchl use (mderate r high risk) benefiting frm brief interventin. 5 The patient refused the screen fr alchl use within the first day f admissin. 6 The patient was nt screened fr alchl use during the first day f admissin r unable t determine frm medical recrd dcumentatin. 7 The patient was nt screened fr alchl use during the first day f admissin because f cgnitive impairment. T: 1 The patient is screened with a validated tl within the first day f admissin (by end f Day 1) and the scre n the alchl screen indicates n r lw risk f alchl related prblems. 2 The patient was screened with a validated tl within the first day f admissin (by end f Day 1) and the scre n the alchl screen indicates unhealthy alchl use (mderate r high risk) benefiting frm brief interventin. 3 The patient was screened with a nn-validated tl within the first day f admissin (by end f Day 1) and the scre n the alchl screen indicates n r lw risk f alchl related prblems. 4 The patient was screened with a nn-validated tl within the first day f admissin (by end f Day 1) and the scre n the alchl screen indicates unhealthy alchl use (mderate r high risk) benefiting frm brief interventin. 5 The patient refused the screen fr alchl use within the first day f admissin (by end f Day 1). 6 The patient was nt screened fr alchl use within the first day f admissin (by end f Day 1) r unable t determine frm medical recrd dcumentatin. 7 The patient was nt screened fr alchl use within the first day f admissin (by end f Day 1) because f cgnitive impairment. The alchl use status screening must have ccurred within the first day f admissin (by end f Day 1). This includes the day f admissin which is defined as Day 0 and the day after admissin which is defined as Day 1. EXCEPTION: If the screening was perfrmed within 3 days prir t admissin, i.e., at the transferring facility, in anther inpatient hspital unit, emergency department r Page 5

7 bservatin unit, the screening dcumentatin must be present in the current medical recrd. If patient has a bld alchl test with a result f.08 g/dl r greater r the clinician dcuments the patient was acutely intxicated per bld alchl test results select Value 2. The 0.08 limit is a bld alchl cncentratin (BAC) reprted in g/dl. If results are given in mg/dl, cnvert t g/dl by mving the decimal pint 3 places t the left. Examples: A 100 mg/dl serum ethanl level is equivalent t a 0.10 (g/dl) BAC. An 80 mg/dl serum ethanl level is equivalent t a 0.08 g/dl BAC. Screening may be dne with a validated Single Alchl Screening Questin (SASQ) in rder t identify thse patients with n risk r lw risk r wh d nt drink. Further screening shuld be dne with a validated tl fr thse patients with a psitive result t determine if there is need fr a brief interventin. Examples f SASQs include: On any single ccasin during the past 3 mnths, have yu had mre than 5 drinks cntaining alchl? (Yes respnse is cnsidered psitive.) "When was the last time yu had mre than X drinks in 1 day?" (X = 4 fr wmen and 5 fr men) (Within the last 3 mnths is cnsidered psitive.) Hw many times in the past year have yu had X r mre drinks in a day?" (X = 5 men and 4 wmen) (Respnse f >1 is cnsidered psitive.) Hw ften have yu had 6 r mre drinks n ne ccasin in the past year? (Ever in the past year cnsidered psitive.) Hw ften d yu have X r mre drinks n ne ccasin? (X = 4 fr wmen and 5 fr men) (Ever in the past year cnsidered psitive.) Refer t the Inclusin Guidelines fr examples f cmmnly used validated screening tls; nte that the CAGE, althugh a validated tl, is nt recmmended fr this measure set. Cgnitin refers t mental activities assciated with thinking, learning, and memry. Cgnitive impairment fr the purpses f this measure set is related t dcumentatin that the patient cannt be screened fr alchl use due t the impairment (e.g., cmatse, btunded, cnfused, memry lss) within the first day f admissin (by end f Day 1). If there is dcumentatin that the patient has temprary cgnitive impairment due t acute substance use (e.g., verdse r acute intxicatin), Value 7 cannt be selected. If there is dcumentatin within the first day f admissin (by end f Day 1) that the patient was psychtic with dcumented symptms, e.g., hallucinating, nncmmunicative, catatnic, etc., which prevented them frm answering questins reliably, they wuld be cnsidered cgnitively impaired. If there is dcumentatin that the patient was intubated n the day f admissin (Day 0) and remains intubated thrugh the entire first day (Day 1), select allwable Value 7 as the patient is unable t answer. If there is dcumentatin in the medical recrd indicating the patient drinks alchl and cnflicting dcumentatin indicating the patient des nt drink alchl, select Value 6 since alchl use status is unable t be determined. Page 6

8 When there is cnflicting infrmatin in the recrd with regard t risk, fr instance, the results frm a validated screening tl are dcumented as bth lw AND mderate/high risk, select Value 2 indicating the highest risk. Dcumentatin f cgnitive impairment verrides dcumentatin f an alchl use screen and therefre wuld nt be cnsidered "cnflicting dcumentatin." Even if the family r thers tell staff the patient uses alchl, the patient culd nt be cunseled due t cgnitive impairment. Select Value 7. If there is dcumentatin within the first day f admissin (by end f Day 1) f any f the examples belw, select Value 7 regardless f cnflicting dcumentatin. Examples f cgnitive impairment include: Altered Level f Cnsciusness (LOC) Altered Mental Status Cgnitive impairment Cgnitively impaired Dementia Cnfused Memry lss Mentally retarded Obtunded Psychtic/psychsis Bedside Cardivascular Ultrasund Date Ratinale: The Suggested Data Cllectin Questin was simplified t decrease abstractin burden.

D nt crss reference between different surces t infer that an antibitic was started if it was dcumented nly with name/date/time given but n rute indicated. The rute n the MAR fr an antibitic cannt be used as the rute fr a dse f the same antibitic n anther frm. If the antibitic name, rute, date r time is missing, disregard that dse. Antibitic administratin infrmatin shuld nly be abstracted frm dcumentatin that demnstrates actual administratin f the specific antibitic within the time windw f 24 hurs prir t r 3 hurs fllwing the presentatin f severe sepsis. Examples: A physician rder fr IV antibitics is nt sufficient unless the antibitic rdered was marked as given with date/time nted. D nt cllect antibitics dcumented n an perative reprt unless the surgen states that the surgen actually administered the dse. Specific dcumentatin by ne persn that anther persn administered the antibitic is acceptable fr determining the date and time f administratin. Example: OR nurse, S. Smith RN, dcuments, Cefazlin 1 gm IV given n 1/7/20xx at 0500 per J De RN. This dse can be abstracted as given if nt dcumented by the persn that gave the dse. The methd f designatin f administratin n hand-written r pre-printed frms such as MARs r emars, with pre-printed scheduled times fr administratin, must be clearly designated as started. The methds may vary. Whatever methd is used, it must be clear that the dse was administered. D nt abstract test dses f antibitics. D nt abstract antibitics frm surces that d nt represent actual administratin. Examples that d nt represent actual administratin: Pre-Op Checklist states: X IV Started at 1730 X Prep Antibitic Given at 1800 X Lab n Chart Operative reprt states: IV antibitics were given prir t prcedure D nt abstract antibitics frm narrative charting unless there is n ther dcumentatin that reflects that the same antibitic was started during the specified timeframe. Example: Narrative states: Ancef 1 gram given IV prir t incisin. N ther dses f Ancef are dcumented. The dse in the narrative shuld be abstracted using UTD fr missing data (n date and time). Pre-hspital recrds (e.g., ambulance recrds, nursing hme recrds) that are cnsidered part f the medical recrd shuld be used fr abstracting antibitics. Page 16
