A Partnership to Prevent Sepsis
Sepsis Program
Sepsis Program
Sepsis Alliance and Elara Caring have embarked on a public-private collaboration to improve care, outcomes and early identification of patients with sepsis in the home care setting.
What is Sepsis?
Sepsis is the body’s life-threatening response to infection that affects 1.7 million people and takes an estimated 270,000 U.S. lives every year. The symptoms of sepsis include:
- Temperature higher or lower than normal
- Signs and symptoms of infection
- Mental decline including confusion and difficulty to rouse
- Extreme illness, severe pain or shortness of breath
Reducing the Risk of Sepsis
This program puts lifesaving protocols in place so that every Elara Caring team member and patient/caregiver knows how to identify sepsis and act immediately.
We are just a phone call away 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. If you have a question or concern we want you to call us for help. We are ready to listen, answer questions, give direction and take action whenever you need us.
