Manage episode 501385587 series 3400304
Sepsis is a leading cause of hospital transfers and death among nursing home residents, yet its early symptoms are often mistaken for routine aging-related issues. This blog explores how all staff, nurses, CNAs, dietary, housekeeping, and therapy, play a critical role in identifying subtle changes that may signal sepsis. By fostering a culture of communication, vigilance, and early action, nursing homes can significantly improve outcomes and save lives. Qsource partners with facilities to strengthen early detection strategies and implement whole-team sepsis response systems.
