New Hospital Sepsis Resource

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.

New Sepsis Resources for Healthcare Professionals

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, InstagramLinkedIn and YouTube to stay tuned for more information about Sepsis Awareness Month 2023 using the hashtag #SAM2023.
