Anyone can develop sepsis, a life-threatening, complex and challenging condition to manage. There are significant human and financial costs associated with it. Every year more than 1.7 million adults in the U.S. develop sepsis, leading to over 270,000 deaths. Roughly 19% of sepsis survivors are readmitted to the hospital within 30 days, leading to $3.1 billion in annual costs. Well-defined systems and processes across the continuum are crucial to delivering the right care at the right time to the right patient.
This event will feature proactive transitions in care and hand-off strategies to the next level of care provider to improve patient outcomes and prevent sepsis-related readmissions. The patient voice will be highlighted via a sepsis survivor story. Key discharge planning, patient and family engagement, health equity, infection prevention and patient education tactics will also be shared.

Join us for a webinar featuring subject matter experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to learn about a comprehensive strategy to reduce hospital acquired infections (HAI). The Targeted Assessment for Prevention (TAP) Strategy is a CDC-developed framework for quality improvement that uses data to drive interventions that will prevent healthcare-associated infections.
The TAP strategy targets healthcare facilities and specific units within facilities that have a disproportionate burden of HAIs so that prevention efforts can be prioritized and implemented where they will have the greatest impact. Our speakers will discuss the latest updates in the strategy and tools, including adaptation for smaller facilities.
Your participation in this webinar will provide you with updated information on:
*The number of infections that must be prevented to achieve an HAI reduction goal.

Delirium is often precipitated by opioid use for pain management. Don’t miss this discussion on alternatives, using an example of a successful hospital project. These initiatives will inspire you to take on delirium prevention at your facility!
