Brief summary
The SOFA score is a severity of illness and prognostic score used in the ICU. It has also recently been adopted as part of the definition of sepsis. This study will prospectively evaluate the usability of automated SOFA scoring for ICU patients within an electronic patient monitoring dashboard. It will also assess for changes in physician ordering (volume and types of orders) after automatic scoring is implemented.
