On August 24, 2023, the CDC unveiled the Hospital Sepsis Program Core Elements, developed in collaboration with HMS. These core elements act as a framework to assist hospitals in creating multiprofessional programs to enhance early identification, management, and outcomes for patients suffering from sepsis. One year later, the CDC, in partnership with members of the HMS Sepsis Initiative, produced the report titled “Hospital Sepsis Management and Practices: Findings from the 2023 NHSN Annual Survey.” This report outlines the practices that U.S. hospitals have adopted to monitor and treat sepsis following the release of the CDC Hospital Sepsis Program Core Elements in 2023. The report is available online and prominently featured on the CDC's sepsis website.
