At our hospital we are celebrating in three different ways: 1. For patients and families we have decorated water bottles with Sepsis information and will be giving them away in our hospital cafeteria on World Sepsis Day, Friday, September 13th.
2. For our nursing and other clinical staff we have printed up Tshirts for them to wear that day. We also made badge buddies that list the sepsis criteria and the EGDT. 3. For physicians we have created laminated pocket cards that list the appropriate antibiotics. Our hospital has a 5% mortality rate for sepsis.

Can anyone ,please, share their thoughts/input regarding sepsis management in Va hospitals. This is a shout out to our Armed Forces members. Ms Mary Ann, thanks for your dedication to the campaign, makes me really proud to be CCRN - certified. Through the SSC, our metrics for survivial rate has gone up from 78.5 % in 2009 to 82.2% in 2012. Collaboration/teamwork really makes a difference. I hope I can convince my hospital to take part in the IMPRESS study, next. Sincerely, Carina RN BSN CCRN MD.
