Sepsis Post-Acute Care Training Toolkit for Nursing Homes

This toolkit is designed to educate nursing home staff, residents and families about the early identification of sepsis in order to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with severe sepsis and septic shock. It will also assist in decreasing readmissions related to sepsis.

Provided below are a Microsoft® PowerPoint presentation, which includes a powerful video by Sepsis Alliance, along with handouts and resources to share with staff, residents and their families, as well as all the information needed to easily deliver the education to staff. To ensure knowledge is sustained, nursing homes are encouraged to include sepsis training in new-hire orientation and annual competencies.
