STAR Network aims to enhance care for sepsis survivors beyond the hospital through collaboration and real-time care coordination
Hospitals across
"Sepsis is particularly challenging because it can strike anyone. You don't have to be chronically ill or elderly for your body to develop this type of reaction," said
The STAR Network will focus on four strategies to improve care for patients with sepsis and reduce the number who need to return to the hospital after their first visit:
- Rapidly identifying and treating sepsis and septic shock
- Educating patients and families about the special care they will need to fully recover
- Working to ensure providers outside the hospital have the information they need to treat patients after sepsis
- Recognizing and quickly treating physical and cognitive problems that develop after sepsis
"The more we have learned about what happens after sepsis survivors leave the hospital, the more we have realized the importance of keeping track of these patients so we can intervene quickly should they return to the hospital," Jaffe said. "It is also critical for anyone caring for a person after discharge from the hospital to know that the patient had sepsis so they can watch for the early warning signs of an exacerbation."
The real-time data access offered in collaboration with PatientPing, the nation's leading care collaboration platform, will allow STAR Network participants to identify sepsis survivors care events (admissions, discharges or transfers) in real time across
