​CMS has announced that the SEP-1, Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: Management Bundle Measure, overall hospital performance will be publicly reported beginning with the July 2018 Hospital Compare release. The preview period for the hospitals is anticipated to be from May 4 through June 2, with the actual release on July 25. The quarters that will be publicly reported for this release will be first quarter through third quarter 2017. With each release, the most recent quarter is added and the older quarters removed so a full rolling year’s worth of performance data are included, similar to other chart abstracted measures. The first full year of data will be in the October 2018 release when the full CY 2017 will be reported.​
