Abstract:
A dedicated sepsis coordinator role at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital led initiatives to improve sepsis core measure compliance by 40% during the course of 4 years with submission of all sepsis cases. Chart abstraction and analysis of noncompliant cases identified areas for improvement: early recognition education, order set revisions, documentation support, and the implementation of a nurse-driven 24/7 sepsis monitoring process. The cooperative work with Penn Medicine affiliates, sharing best practices, improves overall sepsis bundle compliance and transitions of care. Ongoing achievements acknowledge the value of building relationships and leading improvements through the collaborative efforts of interprofessional teams.
