In late 2015, Newman Regional Health (Emporia, KS) formed a multidisciplinary group of clinicians eager to understand the pathophysiology of sepsis and how to correctly treat it with CMS-recommended interventions. At that time, the healthcare organization’s sepsis compliance was 33%.
But Newman Regional Health’s results varied quarter to quarter. So, in 2017, leadership committed to a strategic effort for effective sepsis treatment for all patients. Part of that strategy included incorporating sepsis toolkit recommendations in Expanse. Today, its year-to-date sepsis compliance is 85.2%.
