Includes a Live Web Event on 02/13/2025 at 11:00 AM (PST)
Description:
Date: February 13, 2025
Time: 2:00 - 3:00 pm ET / 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM PT
Join us during Sepsis Survivor Week 2025 to hear from sepsis survivors about their personal sepsis experiences. We’ll also share the sepsis education, resources, and support services to assist during transitions of care within the hospital, at discharge, and beyond. Attendees will learn what information and resources made a meaningful impact for these sepsis survivors and caregivers to feel supported during the acute, critical, and post-sepsis phases of their sepsis experiences, and what they wish they would have known then.
This presentation will also provide an in-depth overview of the free patient education, tools, survivor and caregiver resources, and support services Sepsis Alliance has available, with special attention on Sepsis Alliance Connect. Whether you’re a frontline healthcare professional, administrator, or sepsis advocate, this presentation will equip you with the knowledge and tools needed to make a difference and level up your sepsis patient education and transitions of care practices and programs.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of the activity, the learner should be able to:
- List key transition of care opportunities for patient education and support both during their acute care stay and critical illness, as well as post-sepsis;
- Identify strategies to support sepsis survivors and their caregivers throughout the continuum of care;
- Describe how to use available resources to plan a successful discharge process, improve long-term outcomes and reduce the need for readmission.
Target Audience:
Nurses, advanced practice providers, physicians, emergency responders, pharmacists, medical technologists, respiratory therapists, physical/occupational therapists, infection prevention specialists, data/quality specialists, and more.
