Epic Sepsis Model
An early detection model for sepsis integrated within the Epic EHR.
Overview
Epic's Sepsis Model is a cognitive computing model integrated into its electronic health record (EHR) system. It analyzes dozens of data points from a patient's chart in real-time, such as medical history, vital signs, and lab results, to predict the likelihood of sepsis. The goal is to provide clinicians with early, actionable insights to intervene sooner, reducing mortality and improving compliance with sepsis treatment bundles. External validation studies have shown it can have high sensitivity and specificity, though performance can vary.
