Recognition and Treatment of Sepsis

As federal and state efforts continue to advance the Triple Aim of managed care, a focus for nursing homes is the prevention and treatment of sepsis. Sepsis is the most frequent reason for nursing home residents to be admitted to the hospital. 

On Wed. Dec., 9, 2015, from 2 to 3:30 p.m., Rick Chou, D.O., medical director Optum Health will present on the early detection and identification of different stages of sepsis; the roles, responsibilities, and skill sets of a dynamic long-term care sepsis team; and the design of an effective sepsis quality improvement program.

The webinar is presented in conjunction with the Department of Health (DOH) Education,Training and Technical Assistance (ETTA) grant for Medical Direction and Attending Physician Guidelines.
