The importance of a hospital-dedicated sepsis response team.

Implementing SRTs is associated with a better compliance with guidelines regarding primary sepsis care and with a reduction in hospital mortality. However, scientific evidence of the studies is limited due to chosen study design. SRTs can be a strong method to improve primary sepsis care in specific hospital settings if the pros and cons against the other measures of quality improvement are considered and the technical details such as alerts and team members are customized to the individual hospital setting.
