Abstract
More than 75,000 children are hospitalized with sepsis annually with a mortality rate between 8 and 21 percent. Prompt identification and rapid evidenced-based treatment is essential to maximizing outcomes in this population. This is phase one of a multi-year multidisciplinary quality improvement project. This initial phase was limited to screening, rapid identification, and standardized treatment of the sepsis patient in the emergency care setting.
