September is Sepsis Awareness Month, so throughout the month we’ve been spreading the word to our team members and to the public about sepsis – what is it, why is it a critical issue, what do you need to know about it, and much more.
This condition is deadly serious and it’s important that team members and the public are aware of it. Ballad Health has made sepsis prevention a major focus because it creates so many serious issues with our patients.
Sepsis can lead to worse outcomes, longer and more expensive treatments and more readmissions. If we decrease the number of sepsis cases, we’ll see better patient outcomes.
In recognition of our collective learning about sepsis this month, we have organized a prize drawing. Team members who complete the quiz will be eligible for the drawing, regardless of quiz score. Most importantly, what you take away from the quiz could save your life or the life of someone you know or care for.
Click here to take our sepsis awareness quiz.
To be eligible for the drawing, you must complete the quiz by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 30. Winners will be notified by email.
