World Sepsis Day: Long-Term Care Settings
Present Unique Challenges for Sepsis

Today is World Sepsis Day--a day where people come together to raise awareness about the fight against sepsis--a life-threatening medical emergency that affects millions of people each year.


This year, CDC reflects on the unique challenges in preventing, diagnosing, and treating infections that can lead to sepsis in long-term care (LTC) settings. According to the National Center for Health Statistics, in 2015, there were 1.5 million residents living in nursing homes/skilled nursing facilities and almost 919,000 in assisted living. Residents in LTC settings are often at increased risk of developing sepsis due to risk factors, such as older age and chronic conditions.


Education to help LTC healthcare professionals prevent, diagnose, and treat infections that can lead to sepsis in LTC settings is critical. Sepsis is a medical emergency; without timely treatment, it can rapidly lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death. Read more on CDC’s Safe Healthcare blog post about sepsis in LTC settings by CDC LTC expert, Heather Jones, DNP, NP-C.


CDC remains committed to the goal of protecting patients, of all ages and in all settings, and to its responsibility to reduce the impact of sepsis.
