Sepsis Simulation Exercises to Stamp out Sepsis



The goal of the sepsis project was to decrease the mortality rate by developing a “care bundle.” Following the creation of bundles, an international performance improvement effort was established and a sustained effort made to reduce sepsis mortality. The program emphasized education related to elements of the bundles.

The success and long-term sustainability of the sepsis project is dependent on an appropriate governance structure and process at all levels of the healthcare facility leadership by both management and clinicians enabling a top-down, bottom-up approach to drive and sustain improved outcomes for patients.

The goals were achieved by September 2018 with the commitment and multidisciplinary involvement as well as the implementation of evidence-based practices by the CICU team. Even though the goal has been achieved, the team continues to monitor the compliance of the strategies implemented, to sustain the improvements made.
