Now Is the Time: Overcoming Challenges to Successfully Delivering Evidence-Based Sepsis Care

Activity Summary

Required reading for all learners: Implicit Bias impacts patient outcomes

One in three deaths in hospitals is due to sepsis. The complexity of the disease, variability in presentation of the patient and skill and knowledge level of the provider make sepsis management distinctly different and challenging to implement. Providing the right care to the right patient at the right time requires well-defined systems and processes. This intermediate session provides evidence-based strategies to overcome roadblocks and transform processes to impact patient outcomes.

Objectives

Examine the factors impacting the complex presentation and allow for early identification of the septic patient.
Identify barriers preventing consistent application of evidenced-based sepsis care and strategies to resolve through case-based learning.
Summarize targeted approaches to deliver the right care to the right patient.
