• Quantify who is harmed if quality-measure abstraction disagreements is wrong.
• For this Healthcare Alerts and Bundles file, read quality-measure abstraction disagreements against a Joint Commission tracer on sepsis and write the one fact that would move a unit's complication rate for quality-improvement physician.

Recommendation

Choose Proceed under protocol / Pause the pathway / Escalate safety review / Hold on this Healthcare / Alerts and Bundles packet (quality-measure abstraction disagreements after a Joint Commission tracer on sepsis). Lead with the Healthcare option quality-measure abstraction disagreements can support after a Joint Commission tracer on sepsis, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for quality-improvement physician in a 400-bed community hospital with alert fatigue.
