Sepsis Australia

Post Sepsis Syndrome (PSS) describes physical, cognitive, emotional and behavioural effects of sepsis that can be short or long-term and can affect up to 50% of people who survive sepsis. Survivors may suffer from:  Sleep disturbance including insomnia Experiencing nightmares, hallucinations, flashbacks and panic attacks Muscle and joint pains which can be severe and disabling Extreme tiredness and fatigue Inability to concentrate Impaired mental (cognitive) functioning Loss of confidence and self-belief Learn more and download the PSS guide from our website: https://lnkd.in/gbPUm-AR

In July, CMS released the FY 2025 ICD-10-CM code update, which includes a new code, Z51.A ‘Encounter for Sepsis Aftercare’. The new code allows providers to document sepsis aftercare and warn patients about potential risks, such as new or recurring infections, and offer rehabilitation for impairments. During next week’s presentation, Dr. Kathy Bowles will discuss how the new Z51.A code is crucial for healthcare providers to document follow-up care for sepsis survivors who may be at risk for recurrent infections or dealing with the long-term effects of sepsis, such as post-sepsis syndrome.
