Surviving Sepsis: A Human Factors Approach
PatientStories.org and the Winchester and Eastleigh Healthcare NHS Trust in the UK have created Surviving Sepsis: A Human Factors Approach, a short film documenting their innovative human factors approach to identify and manage sepsis (Patient Stories, 2013).
The World Sepsis Declaration is a call to action: To reduce sepsis incidence by 20 per cent by 2020. Internationally, over 4,200 organizations and individuals have signed this declaration to show their support. This includes organizations and individuals from across Canada. The pledge supports increasing awareness, implementing best practice, and tracking the positive impact of sepsis care and management.
