The compelling facts about sepsis speak for themselves (www.sepsis.org; www.endsepsis.org; https://www.endsepsis.org/what-is-sepsis/sepsis-fact-sheet-2/) on how sepsis is a medical emergency impacting all sectors of the health care system! 

To highlight just a few:

• Sepsis is the #1 cost of care in hospitals, and the #1 cause of death;
• Sepsis is the #1 cause of hospital readmissions;
• Sepsis costs over $62 billion in Medicare expenses alone;
• Mitigation of avoidable sepsis hospitalizations is one of the top factors in NYS Medicaid Value Based Payment system; sepsis is the #1 factor for avoidable Medicaid hospitalizations in NY for the general Medicaid population;
• An estimated 87% of sepsis cases originate in home and community;
• The highest risk populations are mirrored in the home and community based population;
• Estimates are that sepsis deaths are 80% preventable if identified and treated early.

Learn what this means for you as a partnered provider and the roles you can play.

Attendees will:

• Learn what your fellow home care agencies, health plans, and partnered hospital, physician, EMS, and federal/state organizations are doing in this critical area;
• Hear the latest in new policies and developments;
• Discuss the mutual challenges; and
• See how you and colleagues can further your collaboration on solutions saving health, lives, and cost.

We look forward to seeing you there!
