Sepsis in post-acute care toolkit

Care transitions

Recommendation

  • Establish a mechanism for prompt escalation of care and, when appropriate, to stabilize and transfer to a provider able to provide a higher level of care.
  • Develop a strategy for appropriate hand-offs and communication regarding the care of patients with sepsis.

Rationale

  • Sepsis care management is complex and involves communication across a multidisciplinary group.
  • Patients with sepsis can often go from mildly sick to critically ill in a short period of time.
