    I just want to throw caution out there. SIRS "criteria" is different than Sepsis "Indicators". Committees are viewing sepsis indicators to mean SIRS criteria. They are not the same. SIRS is SIRS and should not change. Sepsis indicators can change.

    Please be aware that SIRS used in conjunction with an infection will no longer 'default' to Sepsis with ICD-10 - probably an appropriate change, in my opinion.
