Sepsis has long been a challenge for healthcare organizations. It is a leading cause of morbidity, readmissions and mortality. As a reaction to an infection, sepsis can spread quickly, progress to septic shock and eventually shut down organ systems. Catching it early is a priority and the basis for much of a hospital’s approach to the disease. This episode features a healthcare expert who shares her organization’s approach to sepsis, as part of a Vizient collaborative, that has resulted in significant reduction in the disease. Guest speaker:Leanne Bonds, MSN, RN, CPHQDirector of Quality and Patient SafetyUF Health Shands Hospital Host:Shannon Hale, MHA, RN, CPHQPerformance Improvement Program DirectorVizient Show Notes:[[[[[[[[ Links| Resources:Contacting Knowledge on the Go: [email protected]Shannon’s email: [email protected]Leanne’s email: [email protected]CDC sepsis website: https://www.cdc.gov/sepsis/what-is-sepsis.html Subscribe Today!Apple PodcastsSpotifyGoogle PodcastsAndroidRSS Feed
