13 September is World Sepsis Day
Why sepsis care will be more important than ever in 2026 - The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services will tie reimbursement to sepsis care based with the Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: Management Bundle or (SEP-1) bundle, impacting hospital operations significantly. With 1 in 3 hospital deaths linked to sepsis, ensuring SEP-1 compliance is crucial. Is your organization confident in its SEP-1 adherence?
DNV can validate your SEP-1 compliance is robust and reliable. This step can enhance patient outcomes and secure necessary reimbursements, positioning your organization for success in sepsis care.
For more on sepsis prevention, hear the latest episode of Rx for Hospital Quality: Getting ahead of sepsis. Joined by guest speaker Dan McCollum, Director of Teaching and Learning at the Department of Emergency Medicine, Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University, we explore how new, early prediction tools using machine learning algorithms can enable early diagnosis and prevention of sepsis before symptoms even present.
Measuring patient-reported outcomes after spinal surgeries
When it comes to total hip and knee replacement surgeries, The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services now require providers in the US to report data from measures of patient-reported outcomes. Providers might even choose to report similar data as it relates to spinal surgeries, and a number of tools and indices show effectiveness in spinal surgery contexts.
