SUMMARY:Let's Stop Sepsis: An Overview of Our Sepsis Resources
DESCRIPTION:With sepsis and septic shock as leading causes of death worldwide\, sepsis mortality continues to be a challenge. Sepsis is a life-threatening\, complex\, and challenging condition to manage\, and anyone can develop it. Though traditionally associated with bacterial infection\, sepsis can develop from many types of infection\, including viral and fungal infections. \nWith the emergence of inpatient stays in 2020 related to COVID-19 (an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus) came additional vulnerability to developing sepsis. Aggregate hospital costs for sepsis stays increased by 66.8 percent from 2016 to 2021 to $52.1 billion. (AHRQ\,2024). Well-defined systems and processes are crucial in delivering the right care at the right time to the right patient. \n  \nIn this HQIC Lunch and Learn webinar\, we will: \n\nDiscuss the prevalence of sepsis\nLearn sepsis best practices\nGive an overview of the IPRO HQIC sepsis resources\n\nWho Should Attend: \n\nNurses\nSepsis coordinators\nCare coordinators\nFront-line and emergency department staff\nInfection preventionists\nClinical and hospital leaders\nPhysicians\nPatient safety and quality professionals
