About the study

Our project aims to learn how hospitals are improving outcomes for patients with sepsis. To do this, we’ll visit hospitals to meet with sepsis coordinators, clinicians, and administrators, observe committee meetings, and review quality improvement materials.

Each site visit will last about a day and a half and include interviews and direct observation. All information will be carefully analyzed, with any identifiable details fully de-identified.

By gathering insights and lessons learned across hospitals, we hope to shine a light on effective approaches to sepsis care and share strategies that can strengthen quality improvement efforts nationwide.

This study is funded by the Department of Health and Human Services, National Heart Lung and Blood Institute.
