  1. Economic Impact of Clinical Sepsis: A Case for Improvement Efforts September 2010

  2. Patient Safety Council 2010 Project:Sepsis Mortality Reduction • This Project … promotes early identification and treatment of sepsis. Our goal is to reduce incidence and mortality by 25%. • It’s important … as sepsis is treatable with early intervention. Yet, it’s is the no. 1 cause of death in ICUs nationally; and 4 to 5 patients die per day of sepsis in our region. • Success will be measured by… increased compliance with evidenced-based best practices, reduced incidence and mortality of sepsis, and a decrease in overall patient hospital stay and costs. • What we need from you… commitment to support a multidisciplinary team approach to sepsis , including collaboration with colleagues, and providing recent data to track our progress.

  3. The Hospital’s Burden of Severe Sepsis Medical Wards Post-Operative Intensive Care Units Emergency Dept. • U.S. Sepsis Statistics • Severe sepsis is reported in 2.26 cases/100 hospital discharges, and 1 in 5 ICU admissions.1 • Severe sepsis is associated with a mortality of 30-50%.2 2Shapiro NI, et al. Critical Care Medicine, 2006; 34: 1025-1032

  4. Sepsis is Costly • Severe sepsis is estimated as 40% of all ICU expenditures1; $16.7B in the US alone.2 • The ALOS is 19.6 days and costs $22,100 per case.2 • The ICU patient with sepsis costs 6 X more than that care of a patient without sepsis.3 1Bone RC et al.

  5. Using EGDT in Sepsis is Cost-Effective Median Hospital Charges 39.2% reduction “…cost decreased an average of $9,346 per patient.” Becker, 2007 Trzeciak, 2006

  6. Potential Impact of EGDT – Here at (Your Facility) 1Nguyen, HB et al. Critical Care Medicine. 2007; 35:1105-1112 2Angus, DC et al. Critical Care Medicine. 2001; 29:1303-1310

  7. Please Support Our Next Steps! Support Sepsis Team meetings – including ED, Critical Care and Med-Surg physicians, staff and management to implement EGDT protocols (add other groups as needed) Provide authority to sepsis team for decisions, and timeline to achieve metrics Ensure monthly data availability to promote awareness and track progress Celebrate sepsis patients’ ‘lives saved’ at our hospital
