Hospital-acquired infections affect every health organization and can lead to further complications. This is an interesting conversation with SSM Health on how they achieved a 60% infection reduction for three targeted infections through a focused strategy. This conversation highlights the need to consider all aspects of the change, including cultural mindsets, daily work, systems to support the new work, and the work required to sustain the change beyond the initial implementation. The perspectives of the subject matter experts on evidence-based practice must be integrated with the expertise of those doing the work on a daily basis and how change must be tailored to the different work settings.

🌍 Today is World Sepsis Day, a crucial reminder that sepsis is a global health crisis. Early detection and timely treatment can save lives, yet many are still unaware of its dangers. Sepsis arises when the body’s response to infection causes damage to its own tissues and organs. Every second counts in diagnosing and treating this condition, which is why raising awareness is so important. Let’s commit to educating ourselves and others, improving infection control, and ensuring that healthcare systems around the world are equipped to tackle sepsis effectively. #WorldSepsisDay #SepsisAwareness #Healthcare #PatientSafety #InfectionPrevention #GlobalHealth #SaveLives #HealthEducation #MedicalInnovation
