Severe sepsis 3-hour bundle compliance and mortality.

Highlights • Severe sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. • The impact of the severe sepsis 3-hour care bundle on sepsis patient mortality was examined. • Severe sepsis patients who received the 3-hour bundle had improved outcomes over those who did not. Severe sepsis is a major cause of mortality among hospitalized patients. We tracked severe sepsis 3-hour bundle compliance and mortality over time. Those patients with severe sepsis who received the entire bundle had improved in-hospital survivability over those patients who did not receive the bundle. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
