Sepsis Clinical Care Standard

The Australian Commission Safety and Quality in Health care has developed a Sepsis Clinical Care Standard, one of eight projects commissioned under the National Sepsis Program.

The Sepsis Clinical Care Standard and supporting materials have been developed to support improvements in the delivery of sepsis care. The goal of the Sepsis Clinical Care Standard is to ensure that a patient presenting with signs and symptoms of sepsis receives optimal care, from symptom onset through to discharge from hospital and survivorship care. This includes timely recognition of sepsis, early and appropriate antimicrobial therapy and continuity of care from the acute setting through to discharge and survivorship.
