Minnesota Hospital Association (MHA) Sepsis Toolkit

Sepsis and septic shock can be associated with a mortality rate of up to 50 percent in hospitals that do not use an early detection and treatment bundle. MHA has coordinated development of the Seeing Sepsis toolkit, which facilitates adoption of sepsis early-detection tools, and the Surviving Sepsis Campaign, which provides three- and six-hour care bundles for hospitals of all sizes.

• ED algorithm
• Sepsis simulation tool: ED
• ED triage poster
• Early detection graphic tool
• Sepsis screening tool: inpatient
• Sepsis simulation tool: inpatient
