Saving Lives with Rapid, Accurate Sepsis Detection
Real-World Impact
After six months of using IntelliSep, our results show that a higher percentage of patients are returning home to their families earlier, at lower cost for them and the hospital. Our ability to improve patient flow has been revolutionary.”

IntelliSep: One Site’s Experience
Reduction in cultures and IV antibiotics
Nursing hours saved due to reduction in blood cultures
Reduction in average LOS per ICU in-patient
Reduction in average LOS per non-ICU in-patient
Average cost savings per patient who received an order for IntelliSep
Reduction in overhead sepsis alerts per day, enabling the ED to focus its attention on the highest risk patients
Increased speed-to-treatment for Band 3 patients compared to Band 1 patients (including occult septic patients)
Of Band 1 patients were critically ill and and were redirected to alternative care pathways based on a low probability of sepsis
The above Impact Notes regarding IntelliSep were generated by the Emergency Department of an 900-Bed Regional Medical Center over a 90-day period and were based on their institutional practices and site validation of IntelliSep.

From Test to Treatment: Clinical Interpretation, Rationale, and Impact of the IntelliSep Sepsis Test
Case Study
Our Lady of the Lake
Regional Medical Center
IntelliSep has been seamlessly integrated into clinical workflows at Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center. It has improved triage for patients with suspected sepsis, reducing time to diagnosis, and allowing for more efficient use of antibiotics and blood cultures, thereby optimizing resource utilization. These streamlined processes and care pathways have resulted in substantial clinical benefit as well as cost savings. This document presents a detailed exploration of Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center’s strategy to address sepsis in the ED, improve triage, and develop an effective clinical interpretation and application of the test.
