Here is an example of a whole of hospital sepsis pathway that was developed using implementation and AMS principles. Rapid adoption. Improved quality of antimicrobial use. #ThinkSepsisActFast
🔥The Think Sepsis Act Fast program was scaled to10 health services (23 hospitals) + improved sepsis pathway compliance, reduced mortality, and saved money. Led by @TheRMH, funded by #SaferCareVic with the economic evaluation led by @BruscoTarsh https://t.co/eW4ev8Akhp
@SaferCareVic funded the #ThinkSepsisActFast program in 24 hospitals - decr mortality, ICU admission and LOS, with a 6 times return on investment. The toolkit is online and available for all hospitals public and private https://t.co/I849VAg2qb https://t.co/SbFMOYZRQd
🔥🔥A really important study - we need to stop the artificial arguments about time to antibiotics based on sepsis severity (1 hr, 3 hr etc etc). Early antibiotics saves lives. And, it’s not just about antibiotics. Addressing source control is key. #ThinkSepsisActFast @ACSQHC
For the management of sepsis time matters both for antimicrobial therapy and source control

It’s World Sepsis Day today. Australia will be running a 10 week campaign. What is your organisation doing to raise awareness? We would love to hear from you! #WorldSepsisDay @ACSQHC @georgeinstitute @SepsisAlliance #ThinkSepsisActFast
Want to take a whole of hospital approach? We have you covered there too. When used in 11 health services, this #thinksepsisactfast sepsis toolkit helped save 52 lives and avoided 96 ICU transfers. https://t.co/1hwe3t2SH2
Sepsis and the associated costs and burden to the health system are hiding in plain sight. An excellent thread. We need to effectively implement sepsis pathways for the early diagnosis and management of sepsis @sepsisAU @SepsisTrustNZ @SaferCareVic #ThinkSepsisActFast
Missed this publication - another study demonstrating the better performance of SIRS (+/- qSOFA) in predicting an infection diagnosis in ED. Exactly the approach we have taken with the #ThinkSepsisActFast pathway in Victoria @SaferCareVic
The SIRS criteria have better performance for predicting infection than qSOFA scores in the emergency department https://t.co/38fZM3Sk68
Are you or your team planning activities for World Sepsis Day? Check out the Australian Sepsis Network website which has links to resources and toolkits. We need a whole healthcare system approach. We are not there yet...

Of course they are! We need early warning AND severity/mortality prediction. This is what Victoria has implemented with the #ThinkSepsisActFast hospital sepsis pathway. Combination criteria do work. https://t.co/X3qE5uOAFk
National Early Warning Scores (NEWS) in pre-hospital care are associated with improved outcomes in patients with suspicion of sepsis. https://t.co/pTxe3DVmMI
It’s all about volume. Same in adults with sepsis. #ThinkSepsisActFast
Taking 2 blood cultures before administering antibiotics for children admitted to the hospital with suspected sepsis or serious bacterial infection increased pathogen isolation and improved antimicrobial decision-making, a recent study found. https://t.co/SBjC4utj7Q
qSIRS-a combination of SIRS plus qSOFA. A similar principle to the #ThinkSepsisActFast sepsis pathway. qSOFA markers (altered mental state and hypotension) plus lactate >2 added to SIRS criteria. @SaferCareVic
New2Trip: Combined SIRS + qSOFA (qSIRS) Score is More Accurate Than qSOFA Alone in Predicting Mortality in Patients w/ Surgical Sepsis in LMIC Emergency Department https://t.co/JPQdHrQv0i
Sepsis more common in Australians than previously thought, says study. Time to implement a national sepsis plan for primary care and hospitals #ThinkSepsisActFast #SepsisKills. But..should be a systems approach including AMS. @georgeinstitute https://t.co/9iS8yuy4Ug
Digital algorithms or not, early warning systems and a bundle approach to sepsis resuscitation are equally effective in reducing sepsis related mortality. What’s incredible that it is still not standard of care in our hospitals. #ThinkSepsisActFast
Congratulations David Kong & your team @BallaratHealth. Incredible achievements over the last year, inc the #ThinkSepsisActFast implementation, the cellulitis clinical pathway Western Alliance grant and other activities. David is a chief investigator with @NCAS_Aus and @NCICancer
David Kong toasts fellow finalists as @BallaratHealth TOPCare wins SHPA 2019 Hospital Team of the Year: ‘I’d like to thank you for the work that you’ve done, to improve not just #hospital #pharmacy services, but the work to care for our patients.’ #MM2019SHPA @Med_Safety_BHS
What is sepsis? Sepsis is the body’s response to infection and can lead to serious illness or even death. Kelly is helping health services #ThinkSepsisActFast to better diagnose and treat patients with sepsis, and save lives! #patientsafetyday https://t.co/JD2sI5GRMa
@NCAS_Aus super excited to be part of this important trial. A great team @DanielCudini Mortality of patients who arrived in ED in septic shock >25% in our #ThinkSepsisActFast cohorts. Sepsis recognition needs attention in the community. #WorldSepsisDay
Sepsis is a life-threatening infection. Our paramedics have started a ground-breaking trial of administering life-saving antibiotics to people who have sepsis. #WorldSepsisDay
Our AMS Nurse Practitioner candidate Belinda Lambros with our ambulatory care nursing staff on #WorldSepsisDay. Cupcake rewards for amazing staff who even start the #ThinkSepsisActFast pathway in outpatients! @PeterMacCC @NCAS_Aus
Grand round @PeterMacCC for #WorldSepsisDay today! Excited to present the health services and implementation journey for the #ThinkSepsisActFast clinical pathway (And to eat one of these cupcakes) @NCICancer @BetterCareVic
Looking forward to seeing the results of this trial @AmbulanceVic - pre hospital abs for severe sepsis #thinksepsisactfast
Sepsis is a life-threatening infection. Our paramedics have started a ground-breaking trial of administering life-saving antibiotics to people who have sepsis. #WorldSepsisDay
The success of the program in large part due to the model of implementation - a true collaboration and supportive approach with the fabulous @BetterCareVic #ThinkSepsisActFast team
