Sepsis remains one of the fastest-moving and most dangerous medical emergencies. Its earliest signs are subtle buried inside constantly changing vitals, labs, and clinician notes. Hospitals need the ability to detect these signals in real time, long before clinical deterioration begins. Manual screening alone simply can’t keep up.

That’s where Cisco’s AI-ready infrastructure and Axelliant’s delivery expertise come together.

An AI-driven Sepsis Early-Warning & Code Sepsis Orchestration system continuously analyzes live clinical data, identifies early risk patterns, alerts care teams, and coordinates every step of the sepsis treatment workflow. This model transforms readiness, response time, and patient outcomes at scale.

Use Case Overview

Built on Cisco’s high-performance compute, networking, and acceleration platforms, the system functions as an agentic AI layer monitoring:

• Vitals
• Lab results
• Pharmacy activity
• Nursing documentation
• Clinical notes

The moment the AI detects sepsis risk, it activates the full Code Sepsis sequence—antibiotics, lactate draws, cultures, fluids, and continuous follow-up ensuring every required task is completed without delay.

This approach is ideal for high-acuity environments like EDs and ICUs, where real-time monitoring and rapid decision-making are critical.

Expected Clinical & Operational Outcomes

• 25–35% reductions in sepsis mortality
• Shorter length of stay (often by 0.5–1 day)
• Higher SEP-1 compliance, frequently above 90%
• Lower cost of care through earlier stabilization
• Faster, more reliable treatment activation

These outcomes demonstrate how real-time detection paired with coordinated execution improves care quality and operational alignment.

How the AI System Works

Cisco infrastructure powers continuous real-time analysis, while Axelliant delivers the data engineering and integrations that make every signal actionable:

• AI detects risk patterns instantly
• Alerts reach the right clinicians immediately
• Code Sepsis workflows launch automatically
• Treatment bundles are monitored end-to-end
• Escalations prevent delays or missed care windows

Clinicians no longer sift through overwhelming data they receive precise, actionable insights that support rapid intervention.
