The 8th National Forum on Sepsis:
Shaping a Federal Response to Sepsis
SEPTEMBER 12, 2024
2024 has been another pivotal year in the quest to develop effective, real-world solutions to the sepsis crisis in the United States and beyond. Millions in federal funding allocated to sepsis for the first time, the ongoing rollout of the Hospital Sepsis Program Core Elements, the release of government reports detailing the shocking toll of sepsis on the nation’s healthcare system and planned new legislation have dramatically advanced our shared mission. Yet, despite our progress, much remains to be done before federal funding, national guidelines and legislative proposals translate into policy mandates that save lives.
At the 8th National Forum on Sepsis, leaders from across government, healthcare, patient advocacy and the private sector who have been responsible for transforming the nation’s approach to sepsis break down the impact of new policies and actions and share what’s next in the campaign to save lives, unburden our healthcare system and reduce the economic toll of this deadly condition.
The event was moderated by Dr. Martin Doerfler, END SEPSIS Board Member, END SEPSIS Expert Advisory Panel Member & Former Executive Vice President of Healthcare, Truveta and Former SVP, Clinical Strategy and Development, Northwell Health
