Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection. It is a life-threatening medical emergency. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, at least 1.7 million adults in America develop sepsis each year. Nearly 270,000 Americans die as a result of sepsis.
That’s why the IPRO QIN-QIO is reinforcing its #STOPSepsisNow campaign – an initiative to increase prevention and earlier identification of sepsis in the community for the general public and direct care staff across the continuum of care. Leveraging our Sepsis Train-the-Trainer Program, this campaign provides turn key ready vital tools and resources to train all levels of staff within healthcare organizations, patients, residents, and families within your community:
- Educational materials in English and Spanish
- Clinical reference guides for early sepsis recognition
- An overview of evidence-based sepsis protocols and best practices
- Comprehensive sepsis training for clinical and non-clinical direct care staff
- Specialized resources for community-based healthcare organizations
- Infection prevention and control best practices
