Overview and Significance of the Practice Issue

 

 Sepsis is one of the leading causes of morbidity, mortality, and increased inpatient costs in our hospitals today. It is a life-threatening, systemic infection that causes organ dysfunction (Mollnes & Huber 2020). In 2017 the World Health Organization declared sepsis a global health priority. There are about 1.7 million cases of sepsis each year in the United States, and about 270 000 people die of sepsis or sepsis complications each year (Sepsis Alliance, 2018). Sepsis imposes a significant burden on healthcare. In the United States, 6% of hospitalizations are from sepsis, and 35% of all hospital deaths are caused by sepsis (Sepsis Alliance, 2018). Nurses can identify the risks for sepsis early using a nurse-driven screening tool as part of their daily assessment, improving patient outcomes and reducing the chances of developing sepsis
