CDC Launches Sepsis Prevention and Care Website

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has launched a new website with information on sepsis prevention and care. Created to improve early recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of the complication, the website's information is broken down into six sections: basic information (fact sheets and questions and answers for patients,), clinical guidelines and tools (guidelines, bundles, education resources, and tools), improving survival (quality improvement efforts by healthcare facilities to improve survival in sepsis), medical bibliography (selected sepsis chapters from medical textbooks), data reports (recent reports on the incidence of sepsis), and related links to additional information about sepsis.
