The Benefits of Hiring a Dedicated Sepsis Nurse

St. Joseph began using dedicated sepsis nurses in 2015 to reduce their sepsis mortality rates. The dedicated sepsis nurses identify and monitor patients at risk of sepsis to ensure that patients who develop the condition can be treated. As a result of their program, Hoag Health's mortality rate from severe sepsis/septic shock declined from 15% to 9% since 2015.
