      We treat sepsis as a result of many organisms but only MSSA is listed in the MIPS quality measures (#407). We'd like this measure to include additional organisms such as:
      A400 Sepsis due to streptococcus, group A
      A401 Sepsis due to streptococcus, group B
      A403 Sepsis due to Streptococcus pneumoniae
      A410 Sepsis due to Staphylococcus aureus
      A4101 Sepsis due to Methicillin susceptible Staphylococcus aureus
      A4102 Sepsis due to Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus
      A413 Sepsis due to Hemophilus influenzae
      A415 Sepsis due to other Gram-negative organisms
      A4151 Sepsis due to Escherichia coli [E. coli]
      A4152 Sepsis due to Pseudomonas
      A4153 Sepsis due to Serratia
      A4181 Sepsis due to Enterococcus

      We see many sepsis patients however the sepsis is due to many different organisms. In the MIPS quality Measure #407, only MSSA is identified. We'd like to see other organisms included.
