The Sepsis Core Elements complement existing sepsis guidelines and help facilitate implementation of guideline-recommended care practices at a wide variety of hospitals and healthcare systems in the United States. The second webinar is coming up on October 16 at 1:00 p.m. ET and will focus on Accountability and Multi-Professional Expertise. Participants will learn how to describe these core elements, recognize the need for a leader responsible for sepsis program outcomes and the importance of setting concrete sepsis program goals, and summarize the benefits of engaging key partners throughout the organization. During each one-hour webinar, sepsis subject matter experts will provide an overview of the Hospital Sepsis Program Core Elements, and partners will share real-life examples, strategies, and best practices about how they have successfully implemented specific Sepsis Core Elements at their organization. Each webinar topic is independent, and all webinars will be recorded. Free Continuing Education (CE)* will be offered upon successful completion of a post-test.
