Nursing Home Sepsis Learning Circle
2023-08-30 12:00 - 13:00 | Online via WebEx
Sepsis impacts individuals across the continuum of care, with 80%-90% of sepsis-related infections occurring in the home and community. Every two minutes, someone dies of sepsis, leading to more than a quarter of a million sepsis deaths each year in patients both young and old. Every 20 seconds a person is hospitalized with sepsis, and one-in-four are re-hospitalized within 30 days. Sepsis deaths can be substantially preventable, but the solution requires participation and collaboration across the entire health care system. The Sepsis Learning Circle offers a forum for education and sharing of resources and best practices targeting early identification of sepsis with a goal for all participants to benefit from the wisdom and experience of the group to improve resident outcomes.

Join other clinicians and subject matter experts in conversation focused on sepsis identification and treatment as a medical emergency.
IPRO QIN-QIO Sepsis Learning Circle meetings will provide the opportunity to:

Discuss the signs and symptoms of sepsis, the importance of early recognition and established protocols for emergent treatment.
Ask a subject matter expert about sepsis protocols in the long-term care setting.
Review the components of a turnkey Sepsis Train-the-Trainer Toolkit with materials and talking points to train all levels of staff within your facility.

Subject Matter Expert:
Sara Butterfield, RN, BSN, CPHQ
Assistant Vice President, Healthcare Quality Improvement Program

IPRO HQIC Sepsis Affinity Group: Mid-to-large sized Hospitals
2023-07-20 14:00 - 15:00 | Online via WebEx
Sepsis remains a national priority and is a complex and challenging condition to manage. Despite substantial attention to improvement, an opportunity still exists to decrease sepsis-related morbidity and mortality. More than 1.7 million adults in the U.S develop sepsis every year, leading to over 270,000 deaths (CDC, 2020).
Hospitals are committed to improving care, outcomes, and costs; however, many have expressed they wrestle with where and how to start their quality improvement efforts.
IPRO is launching a 6-month Sepsis Affinity Group to help support and provide a networking forum specifically for mid-to-large sized hospitals as they work to reduce sepsis-related harm. With the shared goal of accelerating learning and improvement, participants will have access to content experts and a platform to share experiences, evidence-based practices, and tools, as well as explore successes, challenges and lessons learned to drive progress on sepsis-related harm. Some topics to be included are sepsis screening, SEP-1 bundle compliance and reporting, and more.

On behalf of the IPRO HQIC team, we look forward to your joining and working together with the Sepsis Affinity Group!
