In the wake of the October 2015 CMS reporting requirement for the sepsis management bundle, hospitals have been implementing sepsis management approaches – many with mixed results. Now, CMS is stepping up their efforts to curb the deadly condition by making hospital performance scores public via Hospital Compare on July 25, 2018. The effort shines a light on just how difficult it is to correctly assess true sepsis incidence. The speaker provides insight on why it is so challenging to detect sepsis and what hospitals need to consider as they move forward.
