New Hospital Sepsis Resource

CDC provides tool for U.S. hospitals to implement & optimize sepsis programs

New Sepsis Core Elements to Help Patients Receive Faster & Better Care

In the U.S., one in three people who dies in a hospital had sepsis during that hospitalization. Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection. However, according to CDC’s latest survey, only half of U.S. hospitals provide dedicated time for sepsis program leaders to manage programs. These data highlight opportunities for hospitals to ensure effective teams and resources are in place to quickly identify and treat sepsis to save more lives. Today, CDC is releasing the first-ever Hospital Sepsis Program Core Elements to help all hospitals, regardless of size or location, implement, monitor, and optimize sepsis programs and improve survival rates. The development of a multi-disciplinary sepsis program is critical to monitoring and improving the management and recovery of patients with sepsis. Sepsis programs have been associated with reductions in hospital mortality, length of stay, and healthcare costs.

September is Sepsis Awareness Month and CDC encourages patients and healthcare professionals to share Get Ahead of Sepsis resources and to learn how to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their patients from sepsis.

Be sure to follow official CDC social media pages on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn and YouTube to stay tuned for more information about Sepsis Awareness Month 2023 using the hashtag #SAM2023.

Get Ready for Sepsis Awareness Month

Infections put you and your loved ones at risk for sepsis

Get Ready, September is Sepsis Awareness Month: Learn How You Can Protect Yourself And Your Loved Ones from Sepsis

Anyone can get an infection, and almost any infection, including COVID-19, can lead to sepsis. Sepsis is the body's extreme response to an infection and is a life-threatening medical emergency. If you or your loved one has an infection that's not getting better or is getting worse, ACT FAST. Get medical care IMMEDIATELY.

Most cases of sepsis start before a patient goes to the hospital. Most people who develop sepsis have at least one underlying medical condition, such as chronic lung disease or a weakened immune system. Nearly a quarter to a third of people with sepsis had a healthcare visit in the week before they were hospitalized. September is Sepsis Awareness Month and CDC encourages patients and healthcare professionals to get ready by sharing Get Ahead of Sepsis resources and to learn how to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their patients from sepsis.
