NYS Sepsis Care Improvement Initiative and NYS Regulations
Since 2014, the New York State (NYS) Sepsis Care Improvement Initiative has been a resource for quality improvement in sepsis care. An initiative of the NYS Department of Health, the NYS Sepsis Care Improvement Initiative works with hospitals and partners across the state to achieve the following goals:
- Improve early detection of severe sepsis and septic shock
- Initiate timely interventions and treatment
- Reduce overall mortality, or death, from sepsis
Between 2015 and 2019 the efforts of NYS hospitals and the NYSDOH to reduce deaths from sepsis saved more than 16,000 lives.
