Severe sepsis is the tenth leading cause of death worldwide and costs hospitals over U.S.$16.7 billion each year. Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) decided to develop a technology-based patient screening tool to help its clinicians more effectively detect and manage sepsis. Physicians at VUMC collaborated with the healthcare application developers at Accent on Integration (AOI) to create a Web-based solution called the Patient Safety Screening Tool (PSST) for Sepsis. To optimize the solution, AOI used the enhanced Web technologies of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, Windows Server 2008, and Microsoft SQL Server 2005, along with Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and the 2007 Office system. AOI maximized the dynamic new capabilities of .NET Framework 3.5 and IIS 7.0 to create a flexible, extensible solution for VUMC.
