Adult Community-Acquired Pneumonia (CAP) Order Bundle

This standing order set developed by Ridgeview Medical Center is designed for adult patients whose diagnosis upon admission is pneumonia. This protocol is initiated by an ED or unit nurse and is diagnosis driven. It consists of a checklist to address all CAP Core Measures. It requires a physician to sign off at the end; and if an alternative to the default is required, the physician must provide the order set.
