More about the Sepsis Quality Improvement Programme
The sepsis quality improvement programme provides a standard approach across New Zealand to treat sepsis. The programme supports health professionals working in hospitals by providing tools and resources to improve early recognition and treatment of patients with sepsis.
We worked with HQSC and a multidisciplinary sepsis technical advisory group, with representatives from clinical professional bodies from paediatrics, maternity, general medicine, emergency medicine, intensive care and infectious diseases to develop the resources. It provided clinical expertise, insights and strategic feedback.
