A Multimodal Sepsis Quality-Improvement Initiative Including 24/7 Screening and a Dedicated Sepsis Response Team-Reduced Readmissions and Mortality

Abstract

After the implementation of multimodal sepsis performance initiatives, we observed a higher prevalence of sepsis secondary to screening but a lower prevalence of severe sepsis and septic shock, an improvement in compliance with the sepsis bundle interventions bundle, as well as reduction in hospital readmission and all- cause mortality rate.
