The UCHealth hospitals are two of five chosen nationally to participate and the only facilities in Colorado. The program is expected to be a benchmark for early identification and care of patients who present with or develop sepsis.<\/p>\n<p>Commonly known as blood poisoning, sepsis occurs when the body\u2019s response to an infection damages its own tissues and organs. Essentially, the body\u2019s inflammatory response takes over the entire body, leading to shock, organ failure and possible death. Sepsis can be treated with antibiotics and acute care methods, but symptoms are sometimes overlooked in hospital settings because they can be hard to identify.<\/p>\n<p>Rebecca Kubala, a clinical quality specialist overseeing the campaign, said the program will provide in-depth, hands-on experience for clinicians. \u201cThe goal is to help improve their knowledge-base around what sepsis is and how to treat it,\u201d Kubala said. \u201cSince sepsis is not easily identifiable, clinicians always need to be thinking about it in order to find it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Program participants include 480 clinical employees at Medical Center of the Rockies and Poudre Valley Hospital who work in emergency rooms, intensive care units, and medical and surgical areas where sepsis most commonly occurs.<\/p>\n<p>Ric Detlefsen, director of UCHealth&#8217;s\u00a0Quality and Risk Management in northern Colorado, said the need to improve sepsis identification and treatment was pinpointed by UCHealth&#8217;s Quality Improvement Council. Subsequently, an alert system was created in the emergency department using EPIC, UCHealth\u2019s electronic medical record. The system flags symptoms such as temperature, heart rate,\u00a0and respiration so that treatment time can begin within one hour of arrival.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to be selected among an elite cadre of U.S. hospitals to lead this national initiative toward improved patient outcomes and reduced health care costs,\u201d said Donna Poduska, chief nursing officer at Poudre Valley Hospital. \u201cMSC\u2019s Advanced Quality Program will improve our health care teams\u2019 performance in applying evidence-based guidelines for sepsis early identification and treatment and directly result in saving lives, representing a valuable benefit for our entire community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aha.org\/\">American Hospital Association<\/a> is proud to support University of Colorado Health\u2019s efforts to improve quality of care and control costs through implementation of MSC\u2019s simulation solutions as the initiative\u2019s first charter hospital,\u201d said Anthony J. Burke, President and CEO of AHA Solutions. \u201cUCHealth has demonstrated its continued commitment to providing the best possible care for their community through their participation in this innovative program.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUCHealth embodies the qualities of innovative hospitals and systems that we are looking to partner with in this national campaign,\u201d said Bill Younkes, MSC President. \u201cMedical Simulation Corporation is excited to continue our partnership with this pioneering health care system to help them, and health care organizations nationwide, make a significant impact on health care quality and patient and hospital outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><strong>About\u00a0UCHealth<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">UCHealth is a Front Range health system that delivers the highest quality patient care with the highest quality patient experience.
