Severe sepsis and septic shock involve an inflammatory immune response to infection and are associated with high rates of mortality. CMS aims to improve patient outcomes by encouraging proactive, comprehensive management of the infection.
Objectives. This toolkit allows healthcare professionals who are interested in using the sepsis surveillance methodology from the national burden study to track healthcare facility-level sepsis incidence and outcomes using an objective definition based on clinical data.
Sepsis, a life-threatening syndrome of acute organ dysfunction secondary to infection, is a common cause of hospitalization and death.
