Description:
Many sepsis survivors experience significant challenges after hospital discharge, including physical, cognitive, and psychological complications. Module IV: Sepsis Recovery examines the adverse outcomes commonly faced by survivors and identifies gaps in post-discharge care that can hinder recovery and increase the risk of rehospitalization. Evidence-based strategies for improving transitional care and supporting long-term recovery will be explored, emphasizing the need for comprehensive, patient-centered approaches.
