Seminar Description:

September is Sepsis Awareness Month, the perfect time to focus on one of the most critical and life-threatening conditions affecting your residents: sepsis. Every year, over 1.7 million adults in the U.S. develop sepsis, with 87% of cases starting before hospital admission (CDC). For long-term care- facilities (LTCFs), understanding sepsis is essential for early recognition and prompt intervention, which can be life-saving. This session aims to empower your staff with the knowledge and tools needed to recognize sepsis early, initiate timely and appropriate therapy, and implement effective prevention strategies.
