Track 1: Baxter Sponsored Session: Changing Landscape for Sepsis: Value-based Purchasing and The New CDC Hospital Sepsis Program Core Elements
Description:
Date/Time: September 26, 2024 | 11:30 am - 12:00 pm ET
Sepsis is a life-threatening syndrome of acute organ dysfunction secondary to infection, a common cause of hospitalization and death, and it contributes to new and worsening morbidity. Early sepsis recognition and appropriate management are key to positive outcomes. SEP-1 performance is now part of the CMS value-based purchasing (VBP) program. In August 2023, the CDC published the Hospital Sepsis Program Core Elements, which provides a ‘manager’s guide’ for developing a comprehensive program to monitor and improve outcomes from sepsis. This sponsored session will review SEP-1 as part of VBP and CDC’s 7 Core Elements for a Hospital Sepsis Program.
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.
