A longtime leader in healthcare improvement, we’re developing new ways to revolutionize the industry.
While sepsis remains a key driver of hospital mortality, readmissions and cost, hospitals becoming more adept at treating patients with this life-threatening condition. A new Premier analysis found that sepsis-related mortality, readmissions and hospital-associated incidences all declined from 2015 to 2018, as the industry has intensified performance improvement around sepsis in recent years.
However, findings also show that patients who develop sepsis in the hospital are becoming sicker, and the average cost of these cases has increased by more than 20 percent.
Premier published the analysis in its data-driven report, Margin of Excellence: Lowering the Incidence and Severity of Hospital-Associated Sepsis, which highlights the major opportunities to treat sepsis in the hospital and reduce the frequency and severity of this condition.
