Original article posted on Waikato DHB Newsroom
Waikato DHB’s Sepsis Ready programme has received a Continuous Improvement rating* from independent auditors and Ministry of Health recognising the work done at the DHB’s hospitals to dramatically improve early recognition and response of patients with sepsis.
Sepsis moves fast, so it is vital that hospital staff know what to look for and what to do when it happens, wherever the patient is located. That is the first step in saving lives and reducing long term effects of this life-threatening condition.
