Survey Insights: Referring and Receiving Patients With Sepsis-Survey Insights: Referring and Receiving Patients With Sepsis

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The webcast, moderated by Susan Lacey, focused on survey insights regarding how clinicians refer and receive patients with sepsis. It aimed to improve understanding of feedback mechanisms between referring (e.g., ED or hospital wards) and receiving clinicians (e.g., ICU). Dr. Greg Martin presented findings from a survey that involved clinicians who manage sepsis patients. The survey revealed a diverse range of feedback practices, with many receiving clinicians desiring more structured feedback opportunities. Telephone communication was often preferred by receiving clinicians, while referring clinicians preferred electronic health records for feedback. Both groups recognized the need for better education on diagnosis and management improvements. The study underscored the complexity of sepsis as a diagnosis often missed or misdiagnosed, highlighting the importance of timely and effective communication across different care settings. Dr. Martin emphasized the need for specific, constructive feedback to improve patient outcomes and called for the development of flexible feedback mechanisms using digital tools. Overall, the presentation advocated for enhanced feedback systems to bridge gaps and enhance care for sepsis patients.
